It is an acetophenone compound substituted with two methyl groups on the aryl ring. 3',5'-Dimethylacetophenone is a potentially useful fragment in synthesis, and may be particularly useful in studies concerning the biological handling of 2',4'-dihydroxy-3',5'-dimethylacetophenone (known as clavatol).A useful acetophenone compound.
