CAS NO.: 5422-88-8;cyclopentyl(phenyl)methanone. PROPERTIES: This aryl ketone presents as a colorless liquid with a molecular weight of approximately 176.2 g/mol. The cyclopentyl(phenyl)methanone combines a cyclopentyl group with a phenyl ketone. It exhibits limited aqueous solubility but good dissolution in ethyl acetate and methanol. Stability characterization reveals sensitivity to reduction and base-promoted enolization of the ketone group, necessitating storage at 2-8 degree Celsius in sealed glass containers. Handlers should use powder hoods with HEPA filtration and wear cut-resistant gloves during handling. Skin contact may cause mild irritation requiring thorough washing. Inhalation may induce respiratory tract irritation; treatment includes fresh air and medical evaluation. Eye exposure requires extended rinsing and possible corticosteroid application. Waste should be hydrolyzed with dilute acid prior to disposal. APPLICATIONS: The cyclopentyl(phenyl)methanone serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals. Its ketone functionality provides opportunities for reductive amination and Grignard reactions. Research teams utilize this compound as a starting material for creating beta-blockers and muscarinic receptor modulators. The cyclopentylphenyl framework undergoes oxidation to form more complex ring systems. Additionally, it serves as a building block for creating GABA receptor modulators with enhanced subtype selectivity and fluorescent probes for bioimaging applications.
