3’,4’-Dimethoxyacetophenone (Cat No.: R019424) is an aromatic ketone featuring two methoxy groups on the benzene ring at the 3′ and 4′ positions and an acetyl group at the para position relative to the methoxy substituents. This compound appears as a white to pale yellow crystalline solid and is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and fine chemicals. The electron-donating methoxy groups enhance the reactivity of the aromatic ring, making it suitable for further functionalization in organic synthesis.
