2-Butanone,4-fluoro-3,3-dimethyl-

Description:

2-Butanone, 4-fluoro-3,3-dimethyl- (CAS 72965-00-5) is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group, which is central to its chemical properties. This substance features a four-carbon chain with a fluorine atom and two methyl groups attached to the third carbon, contributing to its unique structural configuration. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature and possesses a distinctive odor, typical of ketones. The presence of the fluorine atom enhances its reactivity and can influence its physical properties, such as boiling point and solubility. 2-Butanone, 4-fluoro-3,3-dimethyl- is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate polarity due to the electronegative fluorine. Its applications may include use as an intermediate in organic synthesis or in the production of specialty chemicals. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
