4-Methoxyphenylacetone (CAS: 104-96-7) is a key organic intermediate with molecular formula C10H12O2. It is primarily synthesized via Friedel-Crafts acylation of anisole or oxidative cleavage of substituted propenylbenzenes, serving as a critical precursor in pharmaceutical and agrochemical manufacturing.
Strictly regulated as a List I precursor under international drug control conventions. Storage requires cool, dry, ventilated areas away from oxidizers. Personnel must utilize PPE including nitrile gloves and eye protection to prevent dermal absorption and inhalation hazards.
