CAS 27129-87-9

3,5-dimethylbenzyl alcohol

Description:

3,5-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol, with the CAS number 27129-87-9, is an aromatic alcohol characterized by a benzene ring substituted with two methyl groups at the 3 and 5 positions and a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) at the benzyl position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts some polar characteristics, allowing for hydrogen bonding. 3,5-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol is used in various applications, including as a fragrance component in perfumes and personal care products, as well as in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Its chemical stability and relatively low toxicity make it a suitable candidate for various industrial and consumer applications. However, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care to avoid potential health hazards associated with inhalation or skin contact.

3,5-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol (3,5-DMB) is an organic solvent that is used as a degreaser and wetting agent for metals. It has been shown to have anticancer properties in vitro, but not in vivo. 3,5-DMB binds to the active site of the enzyme dehydrogenase and prevents it from binding with substrates. This inhibition leads to a decrease in the activity of this enzyme and a decrease in the production of reactive oxygen species. 3,5-DMB has also been shown to be effective against cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, 3,5-DMB has been shown to bind tightly to ferula (a dye used for staining), xylene (a hydrocarbon), and hexane (an organic solvent).
