1,1'-Biphenyl, 3,4'-dimethoxy-

Description:

1,1'-Biphenyl, 3,4'-dimethoxy- is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond. The presence of methoxy groups (-OCH3) at the 3 and 4 positions of one of the phenyl rings contributes to its chemical properties, enhancing its solubility in organic solvents and potentially influencing its reactivity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. It is relatively stable under standard conditions but may undergo reactions typical of aromatic compounds, such as electrophilic substitution. The methoxy groups can also participate in various chemical reactions, including methylation and demethylation processes. 1,1'-Biphenyl, 3,4'-dimethoxy- has applications in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or other fine chemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
