3-Chloro-α,α-dimethylbenzenemethanol

Description:
3-Chloro-α,α-dimethylbenzenemethanol, also known by its CAS number 31002-87-6, is an organic compound characterized by a chlorinated aromatic structure. It features a benzene ring substituted with two methyl groups at the alpha positions and a hydroxymethyl group, along with a chlorine atom at the meta position relative to the hydroxymethyl group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring and the presence of the hydrophilic hydroxymethyl group. The chlorinated structure may impart unique reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses or as an intermediate in organic chemistry. Additionally, the presence of the hydroxymethyl group suggests potential applications in the synthesis of more complex molecules or as a building block in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as chlorinated compounds can pose health and environmental risks.
