:3-Methylbenzyl alcohol
Description:
3-Methylbenzyl alcohol, also known as meta-tolylcarbinol, is an aromatic alcohol characterized by a benzene ring substituted with a methyl group and a hydroxymethyl group at the meta position. Its molecular formula is C9H12O, and it features a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group, which imparts alcohol properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. It is moderately soluble in water and more soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its amphiphilic nature. 3-Methylbenzyl alcohol is used in various applications, including as a solvent, in the synthesis of fragrances, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Its chemical properties include the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding due to the hydroxyl group, which influences its boiling point and reactivity. Additionally, it can undergo oxidation to form corresponding aldehydes or acids. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.

CAS:<p>3-Methylbenzyl alcohol is a hydroxy group with an activated hydrogen. It has regulatory properties due to its hydroxyl group and carbonyl group. The biphenyl moiety has benzoate sequences with activation energies, which are determined from the p-450 isozymes gene product. 3-Methylbenzyl alcohol is used in sample preparation, which requires it to be activated by oxidation. This analytical method can be used to measure the concentrations of 3-methylbenzyl alcohol in various types of biological samples. Metabolic profiles show that 3-methylbenzyl alcohol is metabolized through oxidation or reduction by cytochrome P450 enzymes or conjugation with glucuronic acid.</p>Formula:C8H10OPurity:Min. 98%Color and Shape:Clear LiquidMolecular weight:122.16 g/mol
