CAS 33384-77-9

Benzenemethanol,2-(methylthio)-

Description:

Benzenemethanol, 2-(methylthio)-, also known by its CAS number 33384-77-9, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzene ring attached to a methanol group and a methylthio substituent. This compound features a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) directly bonded to the benzene, which contributes to its solubility in polar solvents. The methylthio group (-S-CH3) introduces a sulfur atom into the structure, which can influence the compound's reactivity and properties, such as its potential for nucleophilic substitution reactions. The presence of both the hydroxymethyl and methylthio groups can also affect the compound's polarity, boiling point, and overall chemical behavior. Benzenemethanol derivatives are often studied for their applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. Additionally, the compound's structure may allow for various functionalization reactions, making it a versatile building block in synthetic chemistry.
