1,3-Benzodioxole-5-ethanol

Description:

1,3-Benzodioxole-5-ethanol, also known as 5-ethoxy-1,3-benzodioxole, is an organic compound characterized by its unique bicyclic structure that incorporates a dioxole ring fused to a benzene ring. 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 such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group in its structure contributes to its potential as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the compound may exhibit various biological activities, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Its stability and reactivity can be influenced by the substituents on the benzodioxole framework, allowing for a range of chemical transformations. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling 1,3-benzodioxole-5-ethanol, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.

Controlled Product

CAS: 6006-82-2

3,4-Methylenedioxyphenethyl alcohol (MDPA) is a model compound that is used to study the mechanism of action and synthesis of aniracetam. It has been shown to be an antagonist of pentylenetetrazole, a convulsant drug. MDPA was also found to have anticonvulsant properties in mice. It was found that this compound had no effect on the inhibition of movement when administered at doses up to 100 mg/kg. This compound is an analog of liriodenine, which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. 3,4-Methylenedioxyphenethyl alcohol is not active in the central nervous system due to its stereoselectivity; this means it can only bind to one stereoisomer within the brain and does not cross the blood-brain barrier.
