1-Propanone, 3-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)-1-(3-methylphenyl)-

Description:

1-Propanone, 3-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)-1-(3-methylphenyl)-, also known by its CAS number 898768-98-4, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group. This substance features a propanone backbone with two aromatic substituents: a 2,3-dimethylphenyl group and a 3-methylphenyl group. The presence of these bulky aromatic rings contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties, including potential steric hindrance and varying solubility in organic solvents. Typically, compounds of this nature exhibit moderate volatility and can participate in various chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic additions, due to the electrophilic nature of the carbonyl carbon. The compound may also display interesting optical properties due to the presence of multiple aromatic systems. Its applications could range from use in organic synthesis to potential roles in materials science, depending on its reactivity and stability under different conditions. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted to understand its handling and toxicity.
