CAS 538-86-3

Benzyl methyl ether

Description:

Benzyl methyl ether, with the CAS number 538-86-3, is an organic compound classified as an ether. It features a benzyl group (C6H5CH2-) attached to a methyl ether (-OCH3) functional group. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. It is known for its low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and diethyl ether. Benzyl methyl ether has a relatively low boiling point, making it volatile under standard conditions. It is primarily used as a solvent and as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and fragrances. The compound is stable under normal conditions but should be handled with care due to its potential to form peroxides upon prolonged exposure to air. Safety precautions are advised, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Overall, benzyl methyl ether is valued for its chemical properties and versatility in various applications within the chemical industry.

Benzyl methyl ether

CAS: 538-86-3

Benzyl methyl ether is a colorless liquid with a sweet odor. It is used as an organic solvent in chemical reactions and as a solvent in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, dyes, pesticides, and other organic compounds. Benzyl methyl ether has been shown to react with oxygen and light to produce benzoic acid. The reaction between benzyl methyl ether and glycol ether can be used for sample preparation prior to analysis using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). GC-MS is often used for the identification of unknown substances in environmental samples. Benzyl methyl ether can also be used for chemical ionization (CI) in mass spectrometry.
