1-Butanone,1-[4-(1-methylethyl)phenyl]-

Description:

1-Butanone, 1-[4-(1-methylethyl)phenyl]- is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group, which is central to its reactivity and properties. This compound features a butanone backbone, indicating it has a four-carbon chain with a carbonyl group (C=O) at one end. The presence of a 4-(1-methylethyl)phenyl group suggests that it has a bulky aromatic substituent, which can influence its physical and chemical properties, such as boiling point and solubility. Typically, compounds of this nature are colorless liquids with a distinctive odor, and they may be used as solvents or intermediates in organic synthesis. The molecular structure contributes to its potential applications in various industrial processes, including the manufacture of plastics, resins, and other chemical products. Additionally, the presence of the isopropyl group can enhance hydrophobic characteristics, affecting its interaction with other substances. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
