1-Propanone, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(3-methylphenyl)-

Description:

1-Propanone, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(3-methylphenyl)-, also known by its CAS number 898790-65-3, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group. This substance features a propanone backbone with two aromatic substituents: a 4-chlorophenyl group and a 3-methylphenyl group. The presence of the chlorophenyl group introduces electron-withdrawing characteristics, which can influence the compound's reactivity and stability. The methyl group on the phenyl ring can provide steric hindrance and affect the compound's overall polarity. Typically, compounds of this nature exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents and may have limited solubility in water due to their hydrophobic aromatic structures. The compound's molecular structure suggests potential applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
