3-Methyl-5-nitrobenzyl alcohol

Description:
3-Methyl-5-nitrobenzyl alcohol is an organic compound characterized by its benzyl alcohol structure, which features a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a benzene ring. The compound has a methyl group (-CH3) and a nitro group (-NO2) positioned on the benzene ring, specifically at the 3 and 5 positions, respectively. This substitution pattern influences its chemical reactivity and physical properties. Typically, it appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. The presence of the hydroxyl group makes it a polar compound, enhancing its solubility in polar solvents like water and alcohols. The nitro group contributes to its potential as a precursor in organic synthesis and may impart some degree of reactivity, particularly in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Additionally, the compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. Safety data should be consulted, as nitro compounds can sometimes be hazardous.
