4-Hydroxyphenylacetone

Description:
4-Hydroxyphenylacetone, with the CAS number 770-39-8, is an organic compound characterized by its phenolic and ketone functional groups. It features a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a phenyl ring, which is further connected to an acetone moiety. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. 4-Hydroxyphenylacetone is known for its applications in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and as an intermediate in various chemical reactions. It exhibits properties such as antioxidant activity and can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Additionally, the presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its reactivity and potential biological activity. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
