4-Methoxy-3-methylacetophenone(Cat No.:M123122)is an aromatic ketone featuring a methoxy group at the 4-position, a methyl group at the 3-position, and an acetyl group at the 1-position on a benzene ring. This compound combines electron-donating (methoxy) and hydrophobic (methyl, acetyl) substituents, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. It is commonly used in the development of pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and fine chemicals. Its substituted phenyl core allows for further derivatization via electrophilic aromatic substitution, while the ketone group can undergo typical carbonyl transformations, such as reductions, condensations, or nucleophilic additions.
