Ethanol, 2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-

Description:

Ethanol, 2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-, also known by its CAS number 18181-71-0, is an organic compound characterized by its ether and alcohol functional groups. This compound features a phenoxy group, which is a phenyl ring bonded to an oxygen atom, and a methoxy substituent, indicating the presence of a methoxy group (-OCH3) attached to the phenyl ring. Ethanol, 2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)- is typically a colorless liquid with a moderate boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents. It exhibits properties common to both ethers and alcohols, such as the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding due to the hydroxyl (-OH) group. This compound is often used in various applications, including as a solvent in chemical reactions and formulations, and may also have roles in biological systems or as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.

2-(2-Methoxyphenoxy)ethanol

CAS: 18181-71-0

2-(2-Methoxyphenoxy)ethanol (2-MPE) is a metabolite of propanediol, which is a precursor in the synthesis of polyurethanes. 2-MPE can be oxidized by monooxygenases to form syringyl and other reactive metabolites. Basic hydrolysis may also produce monomers such as phenols, alcohols, and carboxylic acids. Syringyl is one of the metabolic products of 2-MPE, which has been shown to be resistant to degradation by basidiomycete fungi.
