2-Amino-5-methylphenol

Description:

2-Amino-5-methylphenol, also known as 5-methyl-2-aminophenol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of an amino group (-NH2) and a methyl group (-CH3) attached to a phenolic ring. Its molecular formula is C7H9N, and it features a hydroxyl group (-OH) that contributes to its phenolic nature. This compound typically appears as a solid at room temperature and is soluble in water due to the polar nature of the amino and hydroxyl groups. It is often used in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and as an intermediate in organic reactions. The presence of the amino group allows for various chemical reactions, including electrophilic substitution and coupling reactions. Additionally, 2-amino-5-methylphenol can exhibit antioxidant properties and may have applications in the development of certain materials. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.

2-Amino-5-methylphenol

CAS: 2835-98-5

2-Amino-5-methylphenol is a diamine that forms a copper complex via intramolecular hydrogen bonding. It is used as a reagent in organic synthesis, such as the preparation of picolinic acid, and has also been studied for use in the treatment of bacterial infections. 2-Amino-5-methylphenol binds to the hydroxyl group at position 4 of the ribose ring of NADH and inhibits bacteria by binding to the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction between NADH and H+ to form NAD+. The inhibition of this enzyme prevents electron transport which leads to an accumulation of reactive oxygen species and cell death.
