1-(2-Hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-1-propanone

Description:
1-(2-Hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-1-propanone, also known as HMPA, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group and a hydroxyl group attached to a phenyl ring. It features a propanone backbone with a hydroxyl group at the ortho position relative to a methyl-substituted phenyl group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, pleasant odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group. HMPA is primarily used in the synthesis of various organic compounds and as a photoinitiator in polymer chemistry. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of both the hydroxyl and ketone functional groups, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and condensation reactions. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks upon exposure. Proper storage and handling protocols are essential to ensure safety in laboratory and industrial settings.
