2-Propanone, 1,3-bis(4-methylphenyl)-

Description:

2-Propanone, 1,3-bis(4-methylphenyl)-, commonly known as bis(4-methylphenyl) ketone, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group. It features a central propanone structure with two para-substituted methylphenyl groups, which contribute to its aromatic properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic rings. The presence of the methyl groups enhances its electron-donating ability, influencing its reactivity and stability. 2-Propanone, 1,3-bis(4-methylphenyl)- is often utilized in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals. Its safety profile indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks upon exposure. Proper storage and handling protocols are essential to mitigate any potential hazards associated with this compound.
