TCI D2030 2',4'-Dimethoxyacetophenone (CAS 829-20-9) is an organic compound derived from acetophenone. It carries two methoxy groups on its aromatic ring. In the laboratory it serves as a starting material, or building block, for organic synthesis. Its methyl ketone group and electron-rich aromatic ring offer several reactive sites that chemists can modify. For this reason it is often chosen as a starting point for building more complex molecules, both in organic chemistry research and in medicinal chemistry programs.
The carbonyl group in this compound is reactive enough for condensation reactions, reductions, and halogenation at the alpha position, so one molecule gives access to several transformations. The two methoxy groups change the electron density of the aromatic ring and control where substitution reactions take place. That lets chemists plan synthetic routes with more control over the outcome. The product is supplied by TCI, a brand widely known among researchers for synthesis reagents. Purity and physical property details should be checked against the manufacturer's specification sheet and SDS for each lot.
In Indonesia, this compound is relevant to organic chemistry research groups at universities, natural product research laboratories, and development laboratories that need a dependable aromatic ketone for synthesis. Graduate students and researchers can use it for multi-step synthesis projects, methodology studies, and the preparation of analogues for screening. Because the Indonesian and English pages describe the same product, laboratories can cite the catalogue code D2030 and CAS 829-20-9 when they request a quotation or compare specifications in procurement documents.

- Organic synthesis building block: the methyl ketone and the methoxy-substituted aromatic ring give several reactive sites, so it works well as a starting point for building more complex target molecules.
- Condensation reactions: the reactive carbonyl group takes part in condensation chemistry, so researchers can extend the carbon framework and build conjugated or larger structures from a simple, well-defined precursor.
- Reduction studies: the ketone can be reduced to the corresponding alcohol, which makes the compound useful for studying reduction methods and for preparing intermediates for later synthetic steps.
- Alpha-halogenation: the position next to the carbonyl can be halogenated, which gives a reactive handle for further substitution and coupling steps in longer synthetic routes in research laboratories.
- Medicinal chemistry analogue preparation: the electron-rich dimethoxy aromatic core lets chemists make structurally related analogues when they explore structure-activity relationships in early-stage medicinal chemistry research projects.
