4,4-Diphenyl-2-butanone

Description:

4,4-Diphenyl-2-butanone, with the CAS number 5409-60-9, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group and a unique structure featuring two phenyl groups attached to a butanone backbone. This compound typically appears as a white to pale yellow crystalline solid and is known for its relatively high melting point. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic phenyl groups. 4,4-Diphenyl-2-butanone is often utilized in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the carbonyl group, making it susceptible to nucleophilic attack. Additionally, it may exhibit interesting optical properties, making it a subject of study in materials science and photochemistry. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as with many organic chemicals, due to potential health hazards associated with exposure.

4,4'-Diphenyl-2-butanone

CAS: 5409-60-9

4,4'-Diphenyl-2-butanone is a biomolecular reagent that is dehydrated to form an activated cyclic sulfide. This compound can be used in the preparation of β-unsaturated ketones and aldehydes. It is also used in the synthesis of methyl cinnamate, which can be converted to cinnamaldehyde. The condensation process of 4,4'-diphenyl-2-butanone with chloride yields trifluoromethylthiolation products such as 2,3-dichloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzenesulfonyl chloride. The reaction product can be used to synthesize rhenium complexes. It has been proposed that this reagent may be applied in the synthesis of rhenium complexes by reacting with chloride and then adding a ligand such as aluminium or β-unsaturated ketones.
