2,5-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol

Description:

2,5-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol, with the CAS number 53957-33-8, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzyl group substituted with two methyl groups at the 2 and 5 positions. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a pleasant, mild odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group in its structure imparts some polar characteristics, allowing it to participate in hydrogen bonding. 2,5-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol is often used in the synthesis of various chemical intermediates, fragrances, and as a solvent in different applications. Its chemical stability and relatively low toxicity make it suitable for use in consumer products, although safety precautions should still be observed. As with many organic compounds, it is important to handle it with care, following appropriate safety guidelines to mitigate any potential risks associated with its use.
