1-Butanone, 1-cyclopentyl-3-methyl-

Description:

1-Butanone, 1-cyclopentyl-3-methyl- (CAS 6636-81-3) is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group, which is central to its chemical properties. It features a butanone backbone with cyclopentyl and methyl substituents, contributing to its unique structure and reactivity. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a distinctive odor, reminiscent of other ketones. It is moderately soluble in water and more soluble in organic solvents, which makes it useful in various applications, including as a solvent in chemical processes and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. The presence of the cyclopentyl group can influence its boiling point and volatility compared to simpler ketones. Additionally, 1-butanone derivatives often exhibit interesting chemical behavior, such as participating in nucleophilic addition reactions due to the electrophilic nature of the carbonyl carbon. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as with many organic solvents, including proper handling and storage to avoid exposure and environmental impact.
