4-CHLORO-2-METHYLBENZYL ALCOHOL 97

Description:

4-Chloro-2-methylbenzyl alcohol, with the CAS number 129716-11-6, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a chlorinated aromatic ring and a hydroxyl functional group. This compound features a chloro substituent at the para position and a methyl group at the ortho position relative to the hydroxyl group on the benzyl moiety. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts alcohol-like properties, making it soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, while the aromatic structure contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics. This compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity can be influenced by the electron-withdrawing nature of the chlorine atom, which can affect its behavior in chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic substitutions or electrophilic aromatic substitutions. Proper handling and storage are essential due to potential toxicity and environmental impact.
