2,5-Dichloro-α-methylbenzenemethanol

Description:
2,5-Dichloro-α-methylbenzenemethanol, with the CAS number 1475-12-3, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of two chlorine atoms and a hydroxymethyl group attached to a methyl-substituted aromatic ring. This compound features a dichlorobenzene structure, where the chlorine substituents are located at the 2 and 5 positions relative to the hydroxymethyl group. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) indicates that it is an alcohol, which can influence its solubility and reactivity. Generally, compounds like this may exhibit moderate to low solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring, while the hydroxyl group can enhance solubility in polar solvents. Additionally, the chlorine atoms can impart unique chemical properties, such as increased reactivity in nucleophilic substitution reactions. The compound may also have applications in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its structural characteristics. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential toxicity, as halogenated compounds can pose environmental and health risks.
