1-Cyclopropyl-4-methoxybenzene, also known by its CAS number 4030-17-5, is an organic compound characterized by a cyclopropyl group attached to a methoxy-substituted benzene ring. This compound features a cyclopropane ring, which is a three-membered carbon ring known for its strain and reactivity, contributing to the compound's unique chemical properties. The methoxy group (-OCH3) at the para position of the benzene ring enhances the electron density, influencing the compound's reactivity and solubility. Typically, compounds of this nature exhibit moderate volatility and can be soluble in organic solvents. They may participate in various chemical reactions, including electrophilic aromatic substitution due to the activating effect of the methoxy group. Additionally, the presence of the cyclopropyl moiety can impart distinctive steric and electronic effects, making this compound of interest in synthetic organic chemistry and potentially in medicinal chemistry for the development of pharmaceuticals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.

a-Cyclopropyl-4-methoxybenzene (1) is a dinitrogen tetroxide adduct of the Grignard reagent, which can be used as a cross-coupling agent to form cyclopropanes. 1 is activated by the chloride ion and an electron-deficient acceptor, such as an aryl chloride or benzyl group. The reaction proceeds in the presence of a nucleophile, such as an alcohol or amine, and transfer agent such as triethylsilane. The synthesis of cyclopropanes can be achieved through a cross-coupling reaction between two substituted phenyl chlorides and one equivalent of an alcohol or amine. This synthetic route avoids the formation of thermally unstable organometallic intermediates.
