1,4-Dimethoxy-2-(1-methylethenyl)benzene

Description:

1,4-Dimethoxy-2-(1-methylethenyl)benzene, also known by its CAS number 72667-91-5, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with two methoxy groups and a vinyl group. The presence of the methoxy groups enhances its solubility in organic solvents and can influence its reactivity and interaction with other chemical species. This compound is typically colorless to pale yellow in appearance and may possess a sweet, floral odor due to its aromatic nature. It is primarily used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or fragrances. The compound's reactivity is influenced by the electron-donating properties of the methoxy groups, which can affect electrophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, its stability and behavior under different conditions, such as temperature and pH, are important for its applications in chemical processes. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
