:1-Ethoxy-2-methylbenzene
Description:
1-Ethoxy-2-methylbenzene, also known as ethyl o-toluate, is an aromatic ether characterized by its ethoxy group (-O-CH2-CH3) attached to a methyl-substituted benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. It has a moderate boiling point and is relatively soluble in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of both the ethoxy and methyl groups contributes to its unique chemical reactivity, making it useful in various organic synthesis applications. Additionally, 1-ethoxy-2-methylbenzene can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, which are common in aromatic chemistry. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Proper storage in a cool, well-ventilated area away from sources of ignition is recommended to prevent any hazardous situations. Overall, this compound serves as an important intermediate in the synthesis of various chemical products.
