1-(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)ethanone; CAS No.: 1198-66-9; 1-(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)ethanone. PROPERTIES: This aromatic ketone is a white crystalline powder with molecular formula C10H12O2. It has molecular weight of 164.20 g/mol and melting point between 65-70 C. The compound is moderately soluble in methanol and acetone but has limited water solubility. Recommended storage is in tightly sealed containers at room temperature. Being a ketone, it may cause eye irritation; standard laboratory safety practices should be observed. APPLICATIONS: In the flavor and fragrance industry, this compound serves as starting material for producing musk-like odorants. The hydroxy group is methylated to form more stable ethers with desired olfactory profiles (Flavour and Fragrance Journal). In pharmaceutical applications, it acts as intermediate for synthesizing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory prodrugs where the ketone group is reduced to alcohol in vivo to release active compound (Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology). The dimethyl groups provide lipophilicity that enhances membrane permeability. Additionally, it functions as building block for producing agrochemicals though agricultural uses are excluded per your request. Its hydroxy, ketone, and methyl functionalities enable diverse reaction pathways including acetal formation, reduction, and Friedel-Crafts alkylation for constructing various organic compounds.
