Description:1-(Biphenyl-2-yl)ethanol, with the CAS number 16927-84-7, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure substituted with a hydroxyl group and an ethyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic biphenyl moiety. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its potential as a chiral building block in organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, 1-(biphenyl-2-yl)ethanol may exhibit interesting optical properties, making it useful in applications related to liquid crystals or as a ligand in coordination chemistry. Its reactivity can include typical alcohol reactions, such as oxidation to ketones or aldehydes, and it may participate in various substitution reactions due to the presence of the biphenyl group. Overall, this compound is of interest in both academic research and industrial applications due to its unique structural features.
