4-(4-Methylphenyl)-2-butanone

Description:
4-(4-Methylphenyl)-2-butanone, also known as p-Methylacetophenone, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group. It features a butanone backbone with a para-substituted methylphenyl group, which contributes to its aromatic properties. The compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, pleasant odor, making it useful in the fragrance industry. Its molecular structure includes a carbonyl group (C=O) that is integral to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic additions. The compound is moderately soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic ring. It is important to handle this substance with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Additionally, it is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds and can be found in some flavoring agents. Safety data sheets should be consulted for specific handling and storage guidelines.
