CAS 5411-56-3

1-(2-Bromophenyl)ethanol

Description:

1-(2-Bromophenyl)ethanol, with the CAS number 5411-56-3, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a bromophenyl group attached to a secondary alcohol. This compound features a bromine atom substituted on the phenyl ring, which influences its reactivity and physical properties. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a moderate boiling point, indicative of its molecular weight and structure. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group makes it polar, allowing for hydrogen bonding, which can affect its solubility in water and organic solvents. This compound can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and oxidation, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the bromine substituent can enhance the compound's reactivity, allowing for further functionalization. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks due to the presence of bromine.

1-(2'-Bromophenyl)-1-hydroxyethane

CAS: 5411-56-3

1-(2'-Bromophenyl)-1-hydroxyethane is a biomolecule that has been shown to inhibit the growth of corynebacterium. This inhibition is stereoselective, with the (S) form being more effective than the (R) form. The oxidation products of this compound are produced by catalytic dehydration of formate and ethyl group elimination, which produce ferrocene and hydroxymethylferrocene respectively. These products are stereogenic, giving rise to chiral molecules that can be used in efficient methods for organic synthesis.
