4-methoxy-4'-methylbiphenyl

Description:
4-Methoxy-4'-methylbiphenyl, with the CAS number 53040-92-9, is an organic compound that belongs to the biphenyl family. It features two phenyl rings connected by a single bond, with a methoxy group (-OCH3) and a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the para positions of the biphenyl structure. This compound is typically characterized by its aromatic nature, which contributes to its stability and unique chemical properties. It is a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water. The presence of the methoxy group enhances its electron-donating properties, which can influence its reactivity and interactions in various chemical environments. 4-Methoxy-4'-methylbiphenyl is of interest in materials science and organic synthesis, particularly in the development of liquid crystals and as a potential intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
