2-phenyl-2-butanol

Description:
2-Phenyl-2-butanol is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a butanol backbone with a phenyl group attached to the second carbon. This compound is classified as a secondary alcohol due to the presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group on a carbon that is bonded to two other carbon atoms. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. The compound is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic phenyl group. 2-Phenyl-2-butanol exhibits moderate boiling and melting points, reflecting its molecular weight and structure. It is often used in organic synthesis and can serve as a precursor for various chemical reactions, including oxidation and esterification. Additionally, it may have applications in the fragrance industry due to its pleasant aroma. Safety data indicates that, like many organic solvents, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact.
