1,2-Benzenedimethanol

Description:

1,2-Benzenedimethanol, also known as o-benzenedimethanol, is an organic compound characterized by its two hydroxymethyl groups (-CH2OH) attached to a benzene ring at the 1 and 2 positions. This compound appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. It is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for various applications. The presence of hydroxymethyl groups contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and etherification. 1,2-Benzenedimethanol is often used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals and polymers. Additionally, it exhibits properties such as mild toxicity and potential environmental impact, necessitating careful handling and disposal. Its physical and chemical properties, including boiling point, melting point, and density, can vary based on purity and specific conditions, making it essential to consult safety data sheets for detailed information.
