2-Methoxy-α-phenylbenzenemethanol

Description:

2-Methoxy-α-phenylbenzenemethanol, also known by its CAS number 22788-49-4, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of both methoxy and hydroxyl functional groups. This compound features a methoxy group (-OCH3) attached to a phenyl ring, which is further connected to a benzenemethanol moiety. The presence of these functional groups contributes to its potential solubility in organic solvents and its reactivity in various chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic substitutions or oxidation processes. The compound may exhibit moderate to high polarity due to the hydroxyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding, influencing its physical properties like boiling point and melting point. Additionally, 2-Methoxy-α-phenylbenzenemethanol may have applications in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, or as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Its safety and handling should be approached with caution, as with many organic chemicals, due to potential toxicity or reactivity.
