2,4-Dimethoxy-5-methylbenzenemethanol

Description:

2,4-Dimethoxy-5-methylbenzenemethanol, identified by its CAS number 171670-26-1, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with two methoxy groups and a methyl group, along with a hydroxymethyl group. This compound typically exhibits a white to off-white crystalline appearance and is soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature due to the aromatic system. The presence of methoxy groups enhances its electron-donating properties, which can influence its reactivity and interactions in various chemical environments. Additionally, the hydroxymethyl group contributes to its potential as a precursor in organic synthesis and may impart some degree of polarity. The compound may be of interest in fields such as medicinal chemistry and materials science, where its unique structural features could be leveraged for the development of new pharmaceuticals or functional materials. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted to understand its handling and potential hazards.
