4-Methylbenzyl alcohol

CAS: 589-18-4

4-Methylbenzyl alcohol is a reactive molecule that has been shown to form an acid in water. The formation of this acid can be attributed to the loss of a proton from the methyl group. This acid is generated by a reaction mechanism that involves the nucleophilic attack of hydrogen fluoride on the methyl group, leading to its conversion into a carbocation. 4-Methylbenzyl alcohol can also react with β-amino acids and hydrogen fluoride in organic solvents at high pH values, through similar mechanisms.
