4-Hydroxy-3-methoxy-α-methylbenzenemethanol

Description:
4-Hydroxy-3-methoxy-α-methylbenzenemethanol, also known as p-hydroxy-α-methyl-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of hydroxyl and methoxy functional groups. It features a benzene ring substituted with a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a methoxy group (-OCH₃), along with an α-methyl group that contributes to its overall structure. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic characteristics due to the aromatic system. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts some degree of polarity, allowing for potential hydrogen bonding interactions. It may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and biochemistry. Its CAS number, 2480-86-6, is a unique identifier that facilitates its identification in chemical databases and literature. As with many organic compounds, safety and handling precautions should be observed due to potential toxicity or reactivity.
