Description:3-(1-Hydroxyethyl)phenol, also known by its CAS number 2415-09-0, is an organic compound characterized by a phenolic structure with a hydroxyethyl group attached to the aromatic ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. It exhibits properties typical of phenols, including the ability to form hydrogen bonds due to the presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group, which contributes to its solubility in polar solvents. The hydroxyethyl substituent can influence its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including etherification and esterification. Additionally, 3-(1-hydroxyethyl)phenol may possess antioxidant properties, which can be beneficial in various applications, including cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Its safety profile should be considered, as with many organic compounds, and appropriate handling procedures should be followed to mitigate any potential risks associated with exposure.
