CAS 76693-57-7

(4-bromophenyl)(4-methylphenyl)methanone

Description:

(4-bromophenyl)(4-methylphenyl)methanone, also known by its CAS number 76693-57-7, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a ketone functional group attached to two aromatic rings. The structure features a bromine atom substituted on one phenyl ring and a methyl group on the para position of the other phenyl ring, contributing to its unique chemical properties. This compound typically exhibits a solid state at room temperature and is likely to be sparingly soluble in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic rings. It may demonstrate moderate stability under standard conditions but can be sensitive to light and heat, which could lead to degradation. The presence of the bromine atom can enhance its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for further chemical transformations in synthetic organic chemistry. Additionally, its aromatic nature may impart specific electronic properties, influencing its behavior in various chemical reactions, including electrophilic substitutions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks.
