4-Bromo-2,6-dimethylbenzenemethanol

Description:
4-Bromo-2,6-dimethylbenzenemethanol, with the CAS number 17100-59-3, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of both bromine and hydroxyl functional groups. This compound features a bromine atom attached to the benzene ring, specifically at the para position relative to the hydroxymethyl group, which is connected to the benzene at the benzylic position. The two methyl groups are located at the 2 and 6 positions of the benzene ring, contributing to its overall hydrophobic character. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group imparts some polar characteristics, making it capable of engaging in hydrogen bonding. This compound may exhibit moderate solubility in polar solvents due to the hydroxyl group, while its aromatic nature suggests stability and potential for electrophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, the bromine substituent can influence the reactivity and properties of the compound, making it of interest in various chemical syntheses and applications in organic chemistry.
