(4-Butylphenyl)-2-furanylmethanone

Description:

(4-Butylphenyl)-2-furanylmethanone, with the CAS number 73399-37-8, is an organic compound characterized by its unique structure, which includes a butyl group attached to a phenyl ring and a furan moiety linked through a ketone functional group. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with both aromatic and heterocyclic compounds, such as stability and potential reactivity due to the presence of the carbonyl group. It may display moderate solubility in organic solvents, while its solubility in water is likely limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the butyl group. The presence of the furan ring suggests potential applications in organic synthesis and materials science, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Additionally, the compound may exhibit interesting photophysical properties, making it a candidate for studies in photochemistry or as a potential dye. As with many organic compounds, safety and handling precautions should be observed, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
