Benzenemethanol, 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-

Description:
Benzenemethanol, 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-, also known as 2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzyl alcohol, is an organic compound characterized by a benzene ring substituted with a hydroxymethyl group and a hydroxyl group. Its molecular structure features a methyl group attached to the benzene ring at the 3-position and a hydroxyl group at the 2-position, contributing to its reactivity and solubility properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents and water to some extent due to the presence of the hydroxyl group. It exhibits properties typical of alcohols, such as the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding, which influences its boiling point and melting point. Additionally, it may have applications in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
