4-Acetamidobenzyl alcohol

Description:

4-Acetamidobenzyl alcohol, with the CAS number 16375-88-5, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an acetamido group and a benzyl alcohol moiety. It typically appears as a white to off-white solid or crystalline substance. The compound features a benzene ring substituted with an acetamido group at the para position and a hydroxymethyl group, which contributes to its alcohol functionality. This structure imparts both polar and non-polar characteristics, making it soluble in various organic solvents and moderately soluble in water. 4-Acetamidobenzyl alcohol is often utilized in pharmaceutical and chemical research due to its potential as an intermediate in the synthesis of various bioactive compounds. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activities, including antimicrobial properties, although specific activities can vary based on structural modifications and experimental conditions. Proper handling and storage are essential, as with many organic compounds, to ensure safety and stability.

4-Acetamidobenzyl alcohol

CAS: 16375-88-5

4-Acetamidobenzyl alcohol is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water. It is used as a reagent in organic synthesis, and also as a chemical intermediate. 4-Acetamidobenzyl alcohol has been shown to catalyze the oxidation of potassium with liquid phase oxygen. The mechanism of this reaction may be due to an amidation followed by an oxidative deamination or an oxidative decarboxylation of the amide. 4-Acetamidobenzyl alcohol has been shown to oxidize primary alcohols in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, yielding an acetaldehyde and a ketone.
