CAS 258886-04-3: Benzenemethanol, 5-bromo-2-methyl-
Description:Benzenemethanol, 5-bromo-2-methyl- is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with a bromine atom and a methyl group. The presence of the hydroxymethyl (-CH2OH) group indicates that it is an alcohol, contributing to its solubility in polar solvents. The bromine substituent enhances the compound's reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic substitutions or coupling reactions. The methyl group introduces steric effects that can influence the compound's reactivity and physical properties. Typically, compounds like this exhibit moderate boiling and melting points due to the balance between the hydrophobic aromatic system and the hydrophilic alcohol functional group. Additionally, the compound may show biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and material science. Its specific applications and behavior would depend on the context of its use, including potential roles in synthesis or as an intermediate in organic reactions.
