DMTPF

DMTPF is a chemical compound. Its systematic name is 2,3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolin-5-one. It is often referred to by its common name, antipyrine. This compound is a synthetic derivative of pyrazolone. It was first synthesized in 1883 by Ludwig Knorr. Historically, DMTPF was widely used as an analgesic and antipyretic medication. However, its use in human medicine has significantly declined due to the development of safer and more effective alternatives, as well as concerns about potential side effects.

DMTPF is a white, crystalline powder. It is soluble in water and ethanol. In analytical chemistry, DMTPF has found applications as a reagent. For instance, it can be used in spectrophotometric methods for the determination of certain metal ions. It can also form complexes with various substances. Its chemical structure features a pyrazolone ring substituted with methyl and phenyl groups. The compound exhibits tautomerism, existing in different isomeric forms. While its direct medicinal use is limited, DMTPF remains a compound of interest in chemical research and analysis.
