2-Chlorobenzyl alcohol

Description:

2-Chlorobenzyl alcohol is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzyl alcohol structure with a chlorine substituent at the second position of the benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C7H7ClO, indicating it contains seven carbon atoms, seven hydrogen atoms, one chlorine atom, and one oxygen atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic benzene ring. 2-Chlorobenzyl alcohol is known for its applications in organic synthesis, serving as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Additionally, it may exhibit antimicrobial properties, making it of interest in various industrial applications. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as it may cause skin and eye irritation. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances is recommended to maintain its stability and efficacy.

2-Chlorobenzyl alcohol is a chemical compound that is used to synthesize other compounds. It is produced by the reaction of ethyl formate and hydrogen chloride in a reaction vessel. It reacts with benzoates to produce 2-chlorobenzoates, which are used as intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. Hydroxyl groups can react with hydrogen fluoride to produce hydrofluoric acid, which is used as an industrial solvent. 2-Chlorobenzyl alcohol also reacts with hydroxide ions to produce ethylene glycol, which is used in making polyester fibers and plastics. This chemical compound has structural studies that show it has a proton and two hydroxyl groups that can react with hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds are important for the stability of DNA structures. The molecular structures of velvetleaf plants contain 2-chlorobenzyl alcohol, which may be due to its role in transferring oxygen from leaves to roots for respiration during
