:

Cresol

Description:
Cresol, specifically the compound associated with the CAS number 1319-77-3, refers to a mixture of cresols, which are methylphenols derived from coal tar or produced synthetically. Cresols exist in three isomeric forms: ortho-cresol, meta-cresol, and para-cresol, each differing in the position of the methyl group relative to the hydroxyl group on the benzene ring. These compounds are colorless to yellowish liquids with a characteristic phenolic odor. Cresols are moderately soluble in water and highly soluble in organic solvents. They exhibit antiseptic properties and are used in various applications, including disinfectants, preservatives, and in the production of resins and plastics. Cresols can be toxic and pose health risks upon exposure, necessitating careful handling and appropriate safety measures. Their chemical structure allows for various reactions, including alkylation and oxidation, making them versatile intermediates in organic synthesis. Overall, cresols are significant in both industrial applications and research contexts due to their functional properties.
