1-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)ethanol

Description:
1-(2,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)ethanol, with the CAS number 41038-40-8, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a phenolic group substituted with two methoxy groups at the 2 and 5 positions and a hydroxyl group attached to an ethyl chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and methanol but may have limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the methoxy groups enhances its lipophilicity and may influence its biological activity. 1-(2,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)ethanol is of interest in various fields, including medicinal chemistry and materials science, due to its potential applications in drug development and as a precursor in organic synthesis. Its reactivity can be attributed to the hydroxyl group, which can participate in hydrogen bonding and other chemical reactions, making it a versatile compound in synthetic organic chemistry.
