CAS 492-70-6

Hydrobenzoin

Description:

Hydrobenzoin, with the CAS number 492-70-6, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of alcohols and is a diol derivative of benzoin. It is characterized by its white crystalline solid form, which is typically odorless and has a sweet taste. Hydrobenzoin is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but has limited solubility in water. The compound features two hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to a benzene ring, which contributes to its reactivity and ability to participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and reduction processes. Hydrobenzoin is often used in organic synthesis as a reducing agent and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and other fine chemicals. Additionally, it has applications in the field of photochemistry and as a stabilizer in polymer formulations. Safety data indicates that while it is generally considered to have low toxicity, appropriate handling and safety measures should be observed to minimize exposure.
