4-Chloro-1-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-1-butanone

Description:

4-Chloro-1-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-1-butanone, with the CAS number 74298-66-1, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group and the presence of a chlorine atom. This compound features a butanone backbone, which is substituted at the first carbon with a 3,4-dimethylphenyl group, enhancing its hydrophobic characteristics. The chlorine substituent introduces additional reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. Typically, compounds like this may exhibit moderate to high lipophilicity, influencing their solubility in organic solvents rather than water. The presence of the dimethylphenyl group can also affect the compound's electronic properties and steric hindrance, which may impact its reactivity and interactions with biological systems. Such compounds are often studied for their potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as intermediates in organic synthesis. Safety and handling precautions are essential due to the presence of chlorine, which can pose health risks if not managed properly.
