3-(4-Ethylphenyl)cyclohexanone

Description:

3-(4-Ethylphenyl)cyclohexanone, identified by its CAS number 898785-41-6, is an organic compound characterized by a cyclohexanone structure substituted with a 4-ethylphenyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is a ketone, which means it contains a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two carbon atoms. The presence of the ethylphenyl group contributes to its hydrophobic nature, making it less soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. The compound is of interest in various fields, including organic synthesis and materials science, due to its potential applications in the development of fragrances, pharmaceuticals, and as an intermediate in chemical reactions. Its stability and reactivity can be influenced by the steric and electronic effects of the substituents on the cyclohexanone ring. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
