3-Phenyl-2-butanone

Description:

3-Phenyl-2-butanone, also known as benzyl methyl ketone, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group and a phenyl substituent. It has the molecular formula C11H12O and features a carbonyl group (C=O) adjacent to a phenyl ring and a branched alkyl chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, floral odor, making it useful in the fragrance industry. Its boiling point is relatively high, indicative of its molecular weight and structure. 3-Phenyl-2-butanone is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic phenyl group. The compound is utilized in organic synthesis and can serve as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, it exhibits some degree of reactivity typical of ketones, participating in nucleophilic addition reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.

3-Phenylbutan-2-one

CAS: 769-59-5

3-Phenylbutan-2-one is a volatile oil that possesses bactericidal activity. 3-Phenylbutan-2-one has been shown to inhibit the growth of Enterobacter aerogenes and Bacillus subtilis at high concentrations by hydrogen bonding with the enzyme enolate anion, which is involved in the synthesis of fatty acids. 3-Phenylbutan-2-one also inhibits nitro group formation and ether extract production through steric interactions, thereby preventing bacterial cell wall synthesis. The antibacterial mechanism of 3-phenylbutan-2-one is due to its ability to react with steroid glycosides in intramolecular hydrogen transfer reactions.
