3-Methoxybenzeneethanol

Description:

3-Methoxybenzeneethanol, also known as anisyl alcohol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a methoxy group (-OCH₃) attached to a benzene ring, along with a hydroxyl group (-OH) connected to an ethyl chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic benzene ring. 3-Methoxybenzeneethanol exhibits properties typical of alcohols, including the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding, which influences its boiling point and reactivity. It is often used in the synthesis of various chemical compounds, as well as in the fragrance and flavor industries due to its aromatic qualities. Additionally, it may serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis and has potential applications in pharmaceuticals. Safety data indicates that, while it may cause irritation upon contact, it is generally considered to have low toxicity when handled properly.
