2,3-Dimethylbenzenemethanol

Description:
2,3-Dimethylbenzenemethanol, also known as 2,3-dimethylphenylmethanol, is an organic compound characterized by a benzene ring substituted with two methyl groups at the 2 and 3 positions and a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to the benzene. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation and esterification. 2,3-Dimethylbenzenemethanol can be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and may have applications in the production of fragrances and other aromatic compounds. Safety data indicates that, like many organic solvents, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact, as it may cause irritation. Proper storage in a cool, well-ventilated area is recommended to maintain its stability.
