4-(4-Nitrophenyl)butan-2-one is an organic compound featuring a butanone backbone with a ketone group at the 2-position and a 4-nitrophenyl group attached at the fourth carbon. The nitrophenyl group includes a nitro group (-NO2) on a benzene ring, which contributes to its electron-withdrawing properties, affecting reactivity. This compound is useful in organic synthesis, particularly in pharmaceuticals and material science, due to the nitro group’s influence on electrophilicity, enabling various chemical transformations in coupling and substitution reactions.
