2-(3-Methylphenoxy)ethanol

Description:
2-(3-Methylphenoxy)ethanol, with the CAS number 13605-19-1, is an organic compound characterized by its ether and alcohol functional groups. It features a phenolic structure with a methyl group located at the meta position relative to the ether linkage, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a moderate boiling point and a relatively low vapor pressure, indicating it is not highly volatile. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic ring. 2-(3-Methylphenoxy)ethanol is often used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemical products, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, it may possess mild antimicrobial properties, making it of interest in formulations for personal care products. Safety data indicates that, like many organic solvents, it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use and storage.
