Benzenemethanol, α-(methoxymethyl)-, also known as 4-(methoxymethyl)benzyl alcohol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzene ring substituted with a methoxymethyl group and a hydroxymethyl group. Its molecular structure features a phenyl group attached to a methanol moiety, which contributes to its alcohol functionality. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group. Benzenemethanol, α-(methoxymethyl)- is often utilized in the synthesis of various chemical intermediates and can serve as a building block in organic synthesis. Its reactivity is influenced by the functional groups present, allowing for potential applications in pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and other chemical industries. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment to mitigate exposure risks.

<p>2-Methoxy-1-phenylethan-1-ol is a derivatised compound that contains a hydroxyl group. It is structurally similar to styrene and has been found to be catalysed by proton, as well as by the presence of other compounds such as cytochrome P450. 2-Methoxy-1-phenylethan-1-ol is an ether with two ether linkages in its backbone, which form at the alpha carbon of the ethyl group and the oxygen atom of the methoxy group. The ether linkage can be cleaved by peroxide to produce an alcohol and an aldehyde. 2-Methoxy-1-phenylethan-1-ol has been shown to reduce inflammation in mice by inhibiting the synthesis of inflammatory cytokines, such as TNFα.</p>
