Benzenemethanol, 2-(acetyloxy)-

Description:

Benzenemethanol, 2-(acetyloxy)-, also known as 2-acetoxybenzyl alcohol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a benzene ring and an alcohol functional group, along with an acetoxy substituent. This compound typically exhibits a colorless to pale yellow appearance and is soluble in organic solvents. Its molecular structure features a benzyl alcohol moiety with an acetoxy group attached to the second carbon of the benzene ring, which influences its reactivity and properties. The presence of the acetoxy group can enhance its reactivity in esterification and other chemical reactions. This compound may be used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and potentially in the formulation of fragrances or pharmaceuticals. Its properties, such as boiling point, melting point, and specific reactivity, can vary based on environmental conditions and purity. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.

2-(Hydroxymethyl)phenyl acetate

CAS: 146952-30-9

2-(Hydroxymethyl)phenyl acetate is a compound that is obtained from the oxidation of phenol. It has shown to be effective in removing adsorbed and lipase-oxidized compounds from celite. 2-(Hydroxymethyl)phenyl acetate is stable in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and ozone. Its selectivity for oxidizing aliphatic over aromatic hydrocarbons is due to its ability to abstract an H atom from the methyl group, which increases its reactivity. The rate of oxidation can be increased by catalyzing with a diacetate or sulfuric acid. 2-(Hydroxymethyl)phenyl acetate is most commonly used as a catalyst in kinetic studies of acetylation reactions, such as those catalyzed by acetic anhydride, benzoyl chloride, or sulfuric acid.
