(1-Methoxy-1-methylethyl)benzene

Description:

(1-Methoxy-1-methylethyl)benzene, also known as isopropyl anisole, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which consists of a benzene ring substituted with a methoxy group and an isopropyl group. Its molecular formula is C10H14O, indicating the presence of ten carbon atoms, fourteen hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, sweet, and slightly floral odor, making it useful in the fragrance industry. It has moderate solubility in water but is more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The compound exhibits a relatively low boiling point and a moderate flash point, indicating flammability. Its chemical properties include reactivity with strong oxidizing agents and potential participation in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions due to the presence of the methoxy group, which acts as an electron-donating substituent. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
