2-Methylcycloheptanone is a cyclic ketone characterized by a seven-membered carbon ring with a methyl group and a carbonyl group (C=O) attached to it. Its molecular formula is C8H14O, indicating it contains eight carbon atoms, fourteen hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It has a relatively low boiling point, which is common for ketones, and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. 2-Methylcycloheptanone is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the carbonyl group, making it susceptible to nucleophilic attack and other chemical transformations. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes upon contact. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this substance.
