2-Methylbenzhydrol

Description:

2-Methylbenzhydrol, also known as 2-methyl-1,2-diphenylethanol, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a benzene ring substituted with a hydroxyl group and a methyl group. It is classified as a secondary alcohol due to the presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to a carbon that is also bonded to two other carbon atoms. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is sparingly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and ether. 2-Methylbenzhydrol exhibits properties typical of alcohols, including the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding, which influences its boiling and melting points. It is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Additionally, its chemical reactivity allows it to undergo oxidation and other transformations, making it a valuable compound in synthetic organic chemistry. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as with many organic chemicals.

2-Methylbenzhydrol

CAS: 5472-13-9

2-Methylbenzhydrol is an organic compound that belongs to the group of five-membered heterocyclic compounds. The crystal structure of 2-methylbenzhydrol has been determined by X-ray crystallography, and it reacts with a rhesus monkey in a stereoselective manner. It is also found as one of two diastereomers in the reaction between benzaldehyde and hydroxylamine. The molecular ion peak for 2-methylbenzhydrol can be detected using mass spectrometry, and the major product ions are ions corresponding to the loss of methanol (CHOH) from the molecule. Other functional groups present in this compound include an aldehyde and a hydroxy group. The reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) plates used to separate 2-methylbenzhydrol from other similar compounds should be stable at room temperature, but will become unstable if heated to more than 40°C.
