Phenol,4-methoxy-2,6-dimethyl-

Description:

Phenol, 4-methoxy-2,6-dimethyl- (CAS 2431-91-6) is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a benzene ring. This compound features two methyl groups at the 2 and 6 positions and a methoxy group (-OCH3) at the 4 position of the phenolic ring, contributing to its unique chemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts moderate acidity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as electrophilic substitution. Additionally, the methoxy and methyl substituents influence its solubility and reactivity, making it more lipophilic. This compound is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of dyes, fragrances, and pharmaceuticals. Safety considerations include its potential irritant effects on skin and eyes, necessitating appropriate handling precautions in laboratory and industrial settings.
