1-(4-Cyclohexylphenyl)-2-methyl-1-propanone

Description:

1-(4-Cyclohexylphenyl)-2-methyl-1-propanone, also known by its CAS number 53207-60-6, is an organic compound primarily used as a photoinitiator in polymer chemistry. This substance features a ketone functional group, which is characteristic of its reactivity under UV light, facilitating the initiation of polymerization processes. It has a relatively high molecular weight and exhibits a non-polar nature due to its hydrocarbon structure, making it soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water. The presence of the cyclohexyl and phenyl groups contributes to its stability and influences its physical properties, such as melting and boiling points. Additionally, this compound is typically handled with care due to potential health hazards associated with exposure, including skin and eye irritation. Its applications extend to the production of coatings, adhesives, and inks, where it plays a crucial role in enhancing the curing process. As with many chemical substances, proper safety measures should be observed when handling and using this compound in industrial or laboratory settings.
