2-(2-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)ethanol

Description:

2-(2-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)ethanol, with the CAS number 4946-08-1, is an organic compound characterized by its benzimidazole structure, which is a fused bicyclic compound containing both benzene and imidazole rings. This compound features a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to an ethyl chain, contributing to its classification as an alcohol. The presence of the methyl group on the benzimidazole ring enhances its lipophilicity, potentially influencing its solubility and reactivity. Typically, compounds of this nature exhibit biological activity, making them of interest in pharmaceutical research. They may interact with various biological targets, including enzymes and receptors, due to their structural features. The compound is likely to be a white to off-white solid at room temperature and may have moderate stability under standard conditions. Its properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and solubility, would depend on the specific conditions and purity of the sample. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances.
