(3-Bromophenyl)(3-methylphenyl)methanone

Description:

(3-Bromophenyl)(3-methylphenyl)methanone, identified by its CAS number 844879-24-9, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a ketone functional group attached to two aromatic rings. The structure features a bromine atom substituted on one of the phenyl rings, specifically at the meta position, while the other phenyl ring has a methyl group also at the meta position. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents due to its aromatic nature. Its molecular structure suggests potential applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. The presence of both bromine and methyl substituents can influence its reactivity and physical properties, such as melting point and boiling point. Additionally, the compound may exhibit interesting electronic properties due to the conjugation between the aromatic rings and the carbonyl group, which can affect its behavior in chemical reactions and interactions with other substances.
