4,4-Dimethyl-1-tetralone（Cat No.:R013161）is a bicyclic aromatic ketone featuring a tetralin (1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene) core with two methyl groups at the 4-position and a ketone at the 1-position. This compound is a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly useful in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. The fused ring system provides conformational rigidity, while the ketone functional group allows for various chemical transformations such as reductions, condensations, or enolate chemistry. Its structure makes it suitable for designing compounds with biological activity, including hormone analogs and receptor-binding ligands in medicinal chemistry.
