Benzeneethanol, 4-(acetyloxy)-

Description:

Benzeneethanol, 4-(acetyloxy)-, also known as 4-acetoxybenzyl alcohol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a benzene ring and an alcohol functional group. It features an acetoxy group (-OCOCH3) attached to the para position of the benzene ring relative to the benzyl alcohol moiety. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic benzene structure. The presence of the acetoxy group enhances its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Its chemical properties include the ability to undergo hydrolysis, leading to the release of acetic acid and benzyl alcohol under appropriate conditions. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled. Proper storage and handling protocols are essential to ensure safety in laboratory and industrial settings.
