2-Methylphenethyl alcohol

CAS: 19819-98-8

2-Methylphenethyl alcohol (2MPE) is an organic acid that is found in plants. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. 2MPE inhibits the production of prostaglandins, which are a type of hormone that causes inflammation and pain. When 2MPE is combined with ferrocene, it forms a complex that can be used as a gas sensor. This complex absorbs light at certain wavelengths, which can then be detected by lasers to indicate the presence of various gases. The use of 2MPE as an organic solvent for coating plates has also been investigated. The process involves adding 2MPE to an organic solution, followed by the addition of ferrocene and argon gas. This process creates a thin film on the plate's surface that can be used for kinetic data collection.
