(3,4-dichlorophenyl)(3,4-dimethylphenyl)methanone

Description:

(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)(3,4-dimethylphenyl)methanone, with the CAS number 844885-34-3, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group, specifically a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to a methanone structure. This compound features two aromatic rings: one substituted with two chlorine atoms at the 3 and 4 positions and the other with two methyl groups at the same positions. The presence of these substituents influences its chemical properties, including its reactivity and solubility. Typically, compounds like this may exhibit biological activity, making them of interest in pharmaceutical research. The dichlorophenyl group can enhance the compound's lipophilicity, potentially affecting its interaction with biological membranes. Additionally, the presence of the dimethylphenyl group may contribute to steric hindrance, influencing the compound's overall stability and reactivity. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as halogenated compounds can pose environmental and health risks.
