2-Ethyl-6-methylphenol

Description:

2-Ethyl-6-methylphenol, also known as 2-ethyl-6-methyl-1-hydroxybenzene, is an organic compound characterized by a phenolic structure with two alkyl substituents: an ethyl group at the second position and a methyl group at the sixth position of the benzene ring. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature due to the presence of the aromatic ring and alkyl groups. 2-Ethyl-6-methylphenol exhibits antimicrobial properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a preservative and in the formulation of certain industrial products. Additionally, it can be involved in chemical synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of other compounds. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Proper storage and handling practices are essential to mitigate any potential hazards associated with this substance.
