1-(2,5-Dimethylphenyl)-3,3-dimethyl-1-butanone

Description:

1-(2,5-Dimethylphenyl)-3,3-dimethyl-1-butanone, identified by its CAS number 898764-50-6, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group. This substance features a bulky structure due to the presence of both a dimethylphenyl group and a dimethylbutanone moiety, which contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties. Typically, compounds of this nature exhibit moderate volatility and may have a distinct aromatic odor, influenced by the phenyl group. The presence of multiple methyl groups enhances its hydrophobic character, making it less soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. This compound may be utilized in various applications, including as a flavoring agent or in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Its stability under standard conditions is generally good, although it may be sensitive to strong oxidizing agents. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling it, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
