4-(4-Methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)but-3-en-2-one(CAT: L014639) is an α,β-unsaturated ketone featuring a highly substituted aromatic ring with methoxy and methyl groups, offering both electronic and steric modulation. This compound is useful in synthetic organic chemistry, particularly in conjugate addition, Michael reactions, and heterocycle formation. Its extended conjugation between the aromatic ring and enone system enhances reactivity and makes it a valuable building block in pharmaceutical and materials research. The electron-rich aryl moiety contributes to increased nucleophilicity and potential bioactivity, making it suitable for structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies.
