4-Bromo-α-ethylbenzenemethanol

Description:
4-Bromo-α-ethylbenzenemethanol, with the CAS number 4489-22-9, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a bromine atom and an ethyl group attached to a benzene ring, along with a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH). This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the bromine atom introduces notable reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions. The hydroxymethyl group can participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its physical properties and reactivity. 4-Bromo-α-ethylbenzenemethanol may be utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its functional groups that allow for further chemical modifications. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
