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.

4-(p-Tolyl)butan-2-one

CAS: 7774-79-0

4-(p-Tolyl)butan-2-one (4PtBA) is a chemical intermediate that is used in the synthesis of other compounds, such as pharmaceuticals. The reaction sequence begins with the addition of acetone to a solution of triphenylphosphine in an inert solvent. The resulting solution is then treated with a catalytic amount of rhodium and carbon monoxide gas. This yields 4PtBA and phosphine oxide, which are separated by distillation. 4PtBA can be reacted with phenylacetylene to produce diphenyldibenzofuran.
