1-(2-Ethylphenyl)ethanone, also known as 2-Ethylacetophenone, is an organic compound characterized by its ketone functional group. It features a phenyl ring substituted with an ethyl group at the ortho position relative to the carbonyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive sweet, floral odor, making it useful in the fragrance industry. Its molecular formula is C11H14O, and it has a moderate boiling point, indicating it is a volatile substance. 1-(2-Ethylphenyl)ethanone is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The compound is often utilized as a flavoring agent and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes and should be used in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhalation of vapors.

1-(2-Ethylphenyl)ethanone is a colorless liquid with a benzene-like odor. It is used as an intermediate in the manufacture of other chemicals. The reaction sequence starts with oxidative cleavage of the ethyl group, yielding aldehyde and ammonium chloride. The nitro group is then reduced to amine, which reacts with ammonium chloride to produce 1-(2-ethylphenyl)ethanone. 1-(2-Ethylphenyl)ethanone can be used as a precursor for other chemical compounds such as deuterated compounds and pentane, which are used in organic synthesis.
