Description

1-(4-Methoxy-3-methylphenyl)ethanone is a methoxyacetophenone with the chemical formula CH3OCH2C6H4O. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in water. It has been studied extensively for its resonance, borohydride, and enhancement properties. The methoxy group enhances the reaction of this compound with sodium borohydride, which leads to an increase in the yield of products. The resonance effect is due to the increased electron density on the methoxy group, which allows for more electrons to be transferred during reactions. The steric effect can also be seen when looking at this compound's mesomeric and steric effects. These effects are due to how bulky it is and how it interacts with other compounds.
