1-(benzyloxy)-2-methylbenzene

Description:
1-(Benzyloxy)-2-methylbenzene, also known as benzyl 2-methylphenyl ether, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzyl ether functional group attached to a methyl-substituted phenyl ring. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring with a methyl group at the ortho position relative to the ether linkage. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents and exhibits low solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The compound is stable under standard conditions but may undergo reactions typical of aromatic compounds, such as electrophilic substitution. Its applications can include use as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this substance.
