[2,4,5-tris(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]methanol

Description:

[2,4,5-tris(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]methanol, with the CAS number 1204-76-8, is an organic compound characterized by its phenolic structure featuring three hydroxymethyl groups attached to a phenyl ring and a methanol moiety. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of hydroxymethyl groups, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. It exhibits properties typical of phenolic compounds, including potential antioxidant activity and reactivity in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and etherification. The presence of multiple hydroxymethyl groups enhances its reactivity and makes it useful in applications such as polymer chemistry, where it can act as a cross-linking agent or a building block for more complex molecules. Additionally, its structure suggests potential applications in pharmaceuticals and materials science, where its unique properties can be harnessed for specific functions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances.
