2-Propanone, 1-[4-(1-methylethoxy)phenyl]-

Description:

2-Propanone, 1-[4-(1-methylethoxy)phenyl]- is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group, specifically a propanone structure with a phenyl group substituted at the 1-position. This compound features a 4-(1-methylethoxy) substituent on the phenyl ring, which contributes to its unique properties. It is typically a colorless liquid with a distinctive odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the methylethoxy group enhances its hydrophobic characteristics, influencing its reactivity and interactions with other substances. This compound may be used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis or in the formulation of certain products. Its chemical behavior is influenced by the electron-donating and electron-withdrawing effects of the substituents on the aromatic ring, which can affect its reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
