4′-Chloro-2-phenylacetophenone(CAT: M121464) is an aromatic ketone featuring a chlorinated phenyl ring and a phenylacetyl moiety, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. The ketone group at the acetophenone core allows for enolate chemistry, nucleophilic additions, and condensation reactions, while the 4′-chloro substituent provides a handle for further functionalization, such as halogen-metal exchange or cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Heck). This compound is commonly used in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals where substituted aryl ketones are key building blocks. Its structural features support the creation of complex aromatic frameworks in both research and industrial settings.
