Description:2-Amino-5-chlorobenzyl alcohol is an organic compound characterized by the presence of an amino group (-NH2), a hydroxyl group (-OH), and a chlorobenzene ring. The molecular structure features a benzyl alcohol framework, where the benzene ring is substituted with a chlorine atom at the 5-position and an amino group at the 2-position. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents due to the hydroxyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. Its chemical properties include the ability to participate in various reactions, such as nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions, making it useful in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical applications. The presence of both the amino and hydroxyl groups allows for potential interactions with biological systems, which may contribute to its utility in medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
