Usage

General Description

1,1-Bis(4-methylphenyl)propanone, also known as alpha, alpha-dimethyl-4-methylphenylacetone, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C16H18O. It is a pale yellow to light orange oily liquid that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. This chemical is commonly used as a precursor in the synthesis of various drugs, particularly amphetamines and methamphetamines. It is also used as a reagent in organic chemical reactions and as a fragrance ingredient in perfumes and colognes. However, due to its potential for illicit drug production, it is a controlled substance in many countries and requires special permits for its purchase and use.
