3-Ethylphenol

Description:
3-Ethylphenol, also known as meta-ethylphenol, is an aromatic organic compound characterized by a phenolic structure with an ethyl group attached to the meta position of the benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C9H12O, and it features a hydroxyl (-OH) group, which imparts typical phenolic properties. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct, sweet, and somewhat medicinal odor. 3-Ethylphenol is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic ethyl group. It is primarily used in the synthesis of various chemicals, including fragrances and pharmaceuticals, and can also serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, 3-ethylphenol is known for its antimicrobial properties and is sometimes studied for its potential applications in agriculture. Safety considerations include its potential irritant effects on skin and eyes, and appropriate handling measures should be taken to minimize exposure.
