CAS 5396-65-6
:α-(Chloromethyl)benzeneethanol
Description:
α-(Chloromethyl)benzeneethanol, also known by its CAS number 5396-65-6, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a chloromethyl group and a benzeneethanol moiety. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in organic solvents, while exhibiting limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The chloromethyl group introduces reactivity, making it a potential intermediate in various organic synthesis reactions, particularly in the formation of more complex molecules. The presence of the hydroxyl group in the benzeneethanol structure contributes to its potential as a hydrogen bond donor, influencing its interactions with other chemical species. Additionally, α-(Chloromethyl)benzeneethanol may exhibit moderate toxicity, necessitating careful handling and appropriate safety measures during its use in laboratory or industrial settings. Its applications may include use in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as a building block in organic synthesis.
