P - methoxy phenyl acetone, an organic chemical, molecular formula: C10H12O2.
4-Methoxyphenylacetone (CAS 122-84-9) is a key pharmaceutical intermediate with molecular formula C10H12O2. It is primarily synthesized via Friedel-Crafts acylation of anisole or oxidation of corresponding ethers, serving as a critical precursor in the manufacturing of analgesics and sympathomimetic agents.
Strictly regulated as a List I chemical precursor under international conventions. Requires secure storage in cool, ventilated areas away from oxidizers. Handling mandates PPE including gloves and eye protection to prevent skin contact and inhalation risks.
