3-(2,6-Dimethylphenyl)-1-[2-(methylthio)phenyl]-1-propanone

Description:

3-(2,6-Dimethylphenyl)-1-[2-(methylthio)phenyl]-1-propanone, identified by its CAS number 898754-58-0, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of ketones. This substance features a propanone backbone substituted with two distinct aromatic groups: a 2,6-dimethylphenyl group and a 2-(methylthio)phenyl group. The presence of the methylthio group introduces sulfur into the molecular structure, which can influence the compound's reactivity and solubility. Typically, compounds of this nature exhibit moderate to high lipophilicity due to their aromatic character, which can affect their behavior in biological systems and their potential applications in organic synthesis or as intermediates in the production of pharmaceuticals. The compound may also possess photochemical properties, making it of interest in fields such as photoinitiators for polymerization processes. As with many organic compounds, safety and handling precautions should be observed, particularly regarding potential toxicity and environmental impact.
