4-Methylcycloheptanone is a cyclic ketone characterized by a seven-membered carbon ring with a methyl group attached to the fourth carbon and a ketone functional group at one of the ring positions. Its molecular formula is C8H14O, indicating it contains eight carbon atoms, fourteen hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is relatively non-polar, which influences its solubility in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. 4-Methylcycloheptanone is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals. Its physical properties include a moderate boiling point and a density that is slightly higher than that of water. As with many ketones, it may exhibit reactivity typical of carbonyl compounds, such as nucleophilic addition reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.

<p>4-Methylcycloheptan-1-one is an organic compound with a methoxy group, mesylate group and a single optical isomer. This compound has been synthesized by the nucleophilic substitution of 4-methylcycloheptanone with methoxymethyl chloride. The enantiomeric excess of the product can be determined by optical rotation measurements. The reaction system was racemized in a chiral environment. The reaction products are solvents, which must be deuterated to yield the desired chiral product.</p>
