Description:2-Chlorobenzeneethanol, also known as o-chlorobenzyl alcohol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a chlorobenzene ring and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a carbon chain. Its molecular structure features a chlorine atom positioned on the second carbon of the benzene ring, which influences its reactivity and physical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor. It is moderately soluble in water and more soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its amphiphilic nature. 2-Chlorobenzeneethanol can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and oxidation, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, it exhibits some degree of toxicity, necessitating careful handling and appropriate safety measures during use. Its applications extend to research and industrial settings, where it serves as a building block for more complex chemical entities.
