Phenol, 2-methoxy-, 1,1′-carbonate

Description:
Phenol, 2-methoxy-, 1,1′-carbonate, commonly known as methyl phenyl carbonate, is an organic compound characterized by its carbonate functional group attached to a methoxy-substituted phenol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. The presence of the methoxy group enhances its reactivity and influences its physical properties, such as boiling and melting points. Methyl phenyl carbonate is primarily used in organic synthesis, serving as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It exhibits moderate toxicity, necessitating careful handling and appropriate safety measures during use. Additionally, it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to the formation of phenol and methanol. Overall, this compound is significant in both industrial applications and research settings due to its versatile chemical behavior.
