CAS 620-24-6

3-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol

Description:

3-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol, with the CAS number 620-24-6, is an organic compound characterized by a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a benzyl alcohol structure. It features a phenolic hydroxyl group positioned at the meta position relative to the benzyl alcohol moiety. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is soluble in alcohol and ether, but its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the benzyl group. 3-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol exhibits antioxidant properties and is often studied for its potential applications in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Additionally, it can serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of various chemical derivatives. The compound's reactivity is influenced by the presence of the hydroxyl group, which can participate in hydrogen bonding and affect its physical and chemical properties. Overall, 3-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol is a versatile compound with significant relevance in both industrial and research contexts.

3-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol

CAS: 620-24-6

3-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol is a fatty acid with a hydroxyl group. The clinical relevance of 3-hydroxybenzyl alcohol remains unclear. It has been used in acetate extract and ph optimum tests, as well as to study reaction solutions and nmr spectroscopic data. Hydrogen bonds have been observed between the molecule's hydroxyl group and the oxygen atoms in water molecules, which may explain its antifungal properties. 3-hydroxybenzyl alcohol also has an inhibitory effect on cyclic peptide synthesis, rotarod test performance, and analytical methods. It is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that can be used against bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses. 3-hydroxybenzyl alcohol has an acidic character because it reacts with copper ions to form a copper complex.
