2,6-Dimethylbenzeneethanol

Description:

2,6-Dimethylbenzeneethanol, also known as pseudocumene-2-ethanol, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with two methyl groups at the 2 and 6 positions, along with a hydroxyl group (–OH) attached to an ethyl side chain. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic nature. It exhibits properties typical of alcohols, such as the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding, which influences its boiling point and volatility. 2,6-Dimethylbenzeneethanol can be used in various applications, including as a solvent, in the synthesis of other organic compounds, and potentially in fragrance formulations. Safety data indicates that, like many organic solvents, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact, as it may cause irritation. Proper storage in a cool, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances is recommended.
