2-chloro-1-phenylethanol

Description:
2-Chloro-1-phenylethanol, with the CAS number 1674-30-2, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a chloro group and a hydroxyl group attached to a phenylethanol backbone. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its moderate solubility in water, influenced by the hydroxyl group, while also being soluble in organic solvents due to its hydrophobic phenyl ring. The chloro substituent introduces reactivity, making it a potential intermediate in various organic synthesis reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. The compound exhibits properties typical of alcohols, such as the ability to form hydrogen bonds, which can affect its boiling point and volatility. Additionally, 2-chloro-1-phenylethanol may have applications in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where its reactivity can be harnessed for further chemical transformations. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as the chloro group may impart toxicity and environmental concerns, necessitating proper handling and disposal measures.
