(4-chlorophenyl)(4-ethylphenyl)methanone

Description:

(4-chlorophenyl)(4-ethylphenyl)methanone, also known by its CAS number 71766-56-8, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group, specifically a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to a methanone structure. This compound features two aromatic rings: one substituted with a chlorine atom at the para position and the other with an ethyl group, also at the para position. The presence of these substituents influences its physical and chemical properties, such as solubility, boiling point, and reactivity. Typically, compounds of this nature exhibit moderate to low solubility in water but may be more soluble in organic solvents. The chlorinated aromatic ring can enhance the compound's stability and reactivity, making it of interest in various chemical applications, including synthesis and as an intermediate in organic reactions. Additionally, the compound may exhibit biological activity, which could be relevant in pharmaceutical research. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential hazards associated with this substance.
