4-Methoxyphenylacetone (Cat No.:R004413) is an aromatic ketone consisting of a methoxy-substituted phenyl ring attached to a propanone side chain. It serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. The methoxy group at the para position enhances its electronic properties, making it useful in reductive amination and condensation reactions. Typically appearing as a colorless to pale yellow liquid, it is soluble in organic solvents and requires controlled handling due to its association with regulated precursor chemistry.
