1-Propanone, 2-methyl-1-(3-methylphenyl)-

Description:

1-Propanone, 2-methyl-1-(3-methylphenyl)-, also known as 3-Methyl-1-(2-methylpropan-2-yl)benzene-1-one, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group. It features a propanone backbone with a methyl group and a 3-methylphenyl substituent, contributing to its unique properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, indicative of its aromatic structure. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the aromatic ring enhances its stability and can influence its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as a solvent or an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, it may exhibit properties such as volatility and moderate toxicity, necessitating careful handling in laboratory settings. As with many organic compounds, safety data sheets should be consulted for specific handling and exposure guidelines.
