[1,1′-Biphenyl]-2-methanol

Description:

[1,1′-Biphenyl]-2-methanol, also known as 2-biphenylmethanol, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure with a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to one of the phenyl rings. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic biphenyl moiety. It exhibits properties typical of alcohols, including the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding, which can influence its boiling and melting points. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group makes it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including oxidation and esterification. Additionally, [1,1′-Biphenyl]-2-methanol can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules and may have applications in pharmaceuticals and materials science. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
