2-Propen-1-ol, 3-(2-methoxyphenyl)-, (2E)-

Description:

2-Propen-1-ol, 3-(2-methoxyphenyl)-, (2E)-, also known by its CAS number 114568-19-3, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a propenol backbone with a methoxyphenyl substituent. This compound is classified as an allylic alcohol due to the presence of a double bond adjacent to the hydroxyl (-OH) group. It typically exhibits properties such as being a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. The methoxy group contributes to its solubility in organic solvents and may influence its reactivity, particularly in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. The compound's double bond configuration (E) indicates that the higher priority substituents on the double bond are on opposite sides, which can affect its physical and chemical properties, including stability and reactivity. Additionally, this compound may have applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemical products. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
