4-Chloro-α-ethylbenzenemethanol

Description:

4-Chloro-α-ethylbenzenemethanol, also known by its CAS number 13856-85-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a chloro group and an ethyl substituent on a benzene ring, along with a hydroxymethyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. It is soluble in organic solvents but may have limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the chloro group introduces reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. Its hydroxymethyl group can participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its physical properties and reactivity. 4-Chloro-α-ethylbenzenemethanol may be used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, or as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as halogenated compounds can pose health and environmental risks.

1-(4-Chlorophenyl)propan-1-ol is a ligand that binds to the active site of enzymes, such as chiral alcohol dehydrogenase and amino alcohol dehydrogenase. It was used to catalyze the synthesis of optically pure products in enantioselective reactions. 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)propan-1-ol has been shown to be an excellent precatalyst for asymmetric catalysis. It also reacts with amino alcohols to form optically pure products in an experiment involving the use of chiral azetidine.
