Description:4-Ethoxybenzyl alcohol, with the CAS number 6214-44-4, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of both an ethoxy group and a hydroxyl group. It features a benzene ring substituted with an ethoxy group (-OCH2CH3) at the para position relative to the hydroxyl group (-OH). This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the ethoxy group. 4-Ethoxybenzyl alcohol is often utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and other chemical products. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the hydroxyl group, which can participate in hydrogen bonding and various chemical reactions, including oxidation and esterification. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
