1,3-Bis(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-1,3-propanedione

Description:

1,3-Bis(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-1,3-propanedione, identified by its CAS number 832740-16-6, is an organic compound characterized by its diketone structure, featuring two methoxy-substituted phenyl groups attached to a central propanedione moiety. This compound typically exhibits a yellow to orange color and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Its molecular structure contributes to its potential applications in organic synthesis and as a ligand in coordination chemistry. The presence of methoxy groups enhances its electron-donating properties, which can influence its reactivity and interaction with metal ions. Additionally, this compound may exhibit interesting photophysical properties, making it a candidate for studies in materials science and photochemistry. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, considering safety data and potential health effects.
