4-Chloro-2-methoxybenzyl alcohol

Description:

4-Chloro-2-methoxybenzyl alcohol, with the CAS number 55685-75-1, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with a chlorine atom and a methoxy group, as well as a hydroxyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group. The chlorine substituent contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses, including the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The methoxy group enhances its lipophilicity, which can influence its biological activity and interaction with other compounds. Additionally, 4-Chloro-2-methoxybenzyl alcohol may exhibit properties such as antimicrobial or antifungal activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, following appropriate safety protocols to mitigate any potential hazards.
