1-Propanone, 1-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-3-(2-methylphenyl)-

Description:

1-Propanone, 1-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-3-(2-methylphenyl)-, also known by its CAS number 898789-58-7, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group. This substance features a propanone backbone with two aromatic substituents: a 3,4-dimethylphenyl group and a 2-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 or substitutions, due to the electrophilic nature of the carbonyl carbon. The compound may also display interesting optical properties and could be utilized in organic synthesis or as an intermediate in the production of more complex molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
