3-Methylbenzeneethanol

Description:

3-Methylbenzeneethanol, also known as m-tolylcarbinol, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and alcohol functional group. It features a benzene ring with a methyl group and a hydroxyl group attached to the carbon chain, specifically at the meta position relative to each other. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic ring. 3-Methylbenzeneethanol is used in various applications, including as a solvent, in the synthesis of other organic compounds, and potentially in the fragrance industry due to its aromatic properties. The compound's reactivity is influenced by the presence of the hydroxyl group, allowing it to participate in typical alcohol reactions, such as oxidation and esterification. Safety data indicates that, like many organic solvents, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact, as it may cause irritation.
