1-Propanone,1-(4-butylphenyl)-

Description:

1-Propanone, 1-(4-butylphenyl)-, also known as butyl phenyl ketone, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group and a butyl-substituted phenyl moiety. It features a propanone backbone, where the carbonyl group (C=O) is directly attached to a phenyl ring that has a butyl group at the para position. This structure contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties, including moderate volatility and solubility in organic solvents. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is used in various applications, including as a solvent, in the synthesis of other organic compounds, and potentially in the formulation of fragrances or flavoring agents. Safety data indicates that, like many organic solvents, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks upon inhalation or skin contact. Proper storage and handling protocols are essential to mitigate any potential hazards associated with its use.
