Benzenemethanol, α-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-methyl-, also known by its CAS number 6013-94-1, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and alcohol functional group. This compound features a benzene ring substituted with a tert-butyl group (1,1-dimethylethyl) and a methyl group at the para position relative to the hydroxymethyl group. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor, and it is typically insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation and esterification. Additionally, the bulky tert-butyl group influences its steric properties, potentially affecting its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. This compound may be used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of other chemical substances. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.

<p>2,2-Dimethyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)propan-1-ol is a product of the dehydration of 2,2-dimethylcyclohexanol. The hydrogenolysis reaction with metals such as palladium or platinum has been shown to produce retropinacol in high yields. The catalytic dehydroxylation reaction can be carried out using a variety of metal catalysts, such as palladium or platinum. 2,2-Dimethyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)propan-1-ol is also produced by the isomerization of other alcohols and can be synthesized by reacting an alkyl halide with carbonium ions.</p>
