CAS 28994-41-4: 2-Benzylphenol

Description: 2-Benzylphenol, with the CAS number 28994-41-4, is an organic compound characterized by its phenolic structure, which consists of a benzene ring substituted with both a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a benzyl group (-C6H5CH2). This compound typically appears as a white to pale yellow solid and is known for its aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic benzyl group. 2-Benzylphenol exhibits antioxidant properties and is often utilized in various industrial applications, including as a stabilizer in plastics and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Additionally, it may have applications in the formulation of personal care products and pharmaceuticals. The compound's reactivity is influenced by the presence of the hydroxyl group, which can participate in hydrogen bonding and other chemical reactions. Safety data indicates that, like many phenolic compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential irritant effects on skin and mucous membranes.
