2,4-Dichloro-α-methylbenzenemethanol

Description:

2,4-Dichloro-α-methylbenzenemethanol, with the CAS number 1475-13-4, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with two chlorine atoms and a hydroxymethyl group. This compound features a chiral center due to the presence of the α-methyl group, which can lead to the existence of enantiomers. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. The presence of chlorine atoms contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in various chemical processes, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds. The hydroxymethyl group imparts some degree of polarity, influencing its solubility in polar solvents. Additionally, 2,4-Dichloro-α-methylbenzenemethanol may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in fields such as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. However, safety and environmental considerations are crucial, as chlorine-containing compounds can pose risks to health and ecosystems.

2,4-Dichloro-±-methylbenzyl Alcohol

CAS: 1475-13-4

2,4-Dichloro-±-methylbenzyl Alcohol is a metabolite of 2,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol (2,4-DCBA) and is used as an antifungal drug. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of fungi by blocking octanoyl and pentyl groups in the synthesis of fatty acids. The metabolites are formed from 2,4-DCBA when it is activated by cytochrome P450 enzymes or monooxygenase. This compound also has a B1 chiral center that can exist in two forms: erythro and threo. The enantiomers have different effects on certain organisms.
