2-(4-Methoxybenzoyl)thiophene is an important aromatic ketone derivative widely used as a pharmaceutical intermediate and organic synthesis building block. This compound features a melting point of 88-91°C (lit.) and boiling point of 387.4±27.0°C at 760 mmHg. With a density of 1.261 g/cm³ (estimate) and refractive index of 1.520 (estimate), it demonstrates good stability under normal conditions. The material should be stored in dark, sealed containers at room temperature. Safety precautions include wearing protective gloves due to potential skin irritation. Its unique molecular structure combining methoxybenzoyl and thiophene moieties makes it valuable for synthesizing bioactive molecules and functional materials.
