Description

1-(2-Methoxy-5-methylphenyl)ethanone is a volatile, synthetic compound. It is used as a chemical intermediate in the production of picotamide and esterification products. Methoxyphenylacetic acid (1) is methylated with methanol in the presence of hydrochloric acid to form 2,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid (2). The latter is then esterified with methanol and acetic anhydride to yield picotamide (3).

The following are some of the most important characteristics of 1-(2-methoxy-5-methylphenyl)ethanone:
Hydrochloric - The chemical formula for this compound includes one H atom and one Cl atom. This indicates that the compound contains a chlorine atom.
br>Synthetic - 1-(2-Methoxy-5-methylphenyl)ethanone is not
