β-Methoxybenzeneethanol

Description:

β-Methoxybenzeneethanol, also known as anisyl alcohol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a methoxy group (-OCH₃) and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, floral odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. β-Methoxybenzeneethanol is known for its applications in the fragrance industry, where it is used as a scenting agent, as well as in the synthesis of various organic compounds. The presence of both the methoxy and hydroxyl groups contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and esterification. Additionally, it exhibits mild antimicrobial properties, making it of interest in certain pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
