3-tert-Butylcyclopentanone is a cyclic ketone characterized by a cyclopentane ring with a tert-butyl group attached to the third carbon and a ketone functional group at the carbon adjacent to the tert-butyl substituent. This compound typically exhibits a colorless to pale yellow liquid form and has a distinctive odor. Its molecular formula is C10H18O, indicating it contains ten carbon atoms, eighteen hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. The presence of the ketone functional group contributes to its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. 3-tert-Butylcyclopentanone is relatively non-polar, which influences its solubility in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. It has applications in the fragrance industry and as a building block in the synthesis of various organic compounds. Additionally, like many ketones, it may undergo reactions such as oxidation or reduction under appropriate conditions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
