Cyclohexanone, 4-(hydroxymethyl)-4-phenyl-

Description:

Cyclohexanone, 4-(hydroxymethyl)-4-phenyl- is an organic compound characterized by its cyclohexanone structure, which features a six-membered carbon ring with a ketone functional group. The presence of a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) and a phenyl group (C6H5) at the 4-position of the cyclohexanone ring contributes to its unique chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents. It exhibits moderate polarity due to the hydroxymethyl group, which can participate in hydrogen bonding. Cyclohexanone derivatives are often used in organic synthesis and can serve as intermediates in the production of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. The compound's reactivity is influenced by the presence of both the ketone and hydroxymethyl functional groups, allowing for various chemical transformations. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.
