Description:1-(4-Methoxyphenoxy)acetone (1-MPA) is a benzene derivative with two methoxyphenoxy groups that has been used in a variety of applications including as a monomer for the synthesis of polymers, in organic reactions, and as an antioxidant. It is synthesized from 1-bromo-4-methoxybenzene and acetone by treatment with sodium hydroxide in ethanol at room temperature. The reaction yields a mixture of 2,5-dihydrofurans, 1-(4-methoxyphenoxy)acetones, and other products. 1-MPA can be accessed through the reaction of various aromatic ketones with elemental bromine in the presence of catalytic amounts of potassium iodide or potassium bromide. It is also available commercially. The molecule has been shown to dimerize after irradiation with ultraviolet light, which destabilizes its conformational properties. 1
