Chemical Structure

5-(tert-Butyl)-1-indanone CAS 4600-86-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-(tert-Butyl)-1-indanone is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

5-(tert-Butyl)-1-indanone (CAS 4600-86-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H16O and a molecular weight of 188.27 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C13H16O, 5-(tert-Butyl)-1-indanone contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 188.27 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
