2′-Hydroxy-4′-methylacetophenone

Description:
2′-Hydroxy-4′-methylacetophenone, also known by its CAS number 6921-64-8, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of acetophenones. It features a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the aromatic ring, which contributes to its chemical reactivity and properties. This compound typically appears as a solid with a white to off-white crystalline form. It is known for its potential applications in the fields of organic synthesis and as a photoinitiator in polymer chemistry due to its ability to absorb UV light and initiate polymerization processes. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its solubility in polar solvents, while the acetophenone structure provides a degree of hydrophobicity. Additionally, 2′-Hydroxy-4′-methylacetophenone may exhibit antioxidant properties and has been studied for its biological activities. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken during use.
