4-Butoxybenzenemethanol

Description:

4-Butoxybenzenemethanol, also known as p-Butoxybenzyl alcohol, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a butoxy group attached to a benzene ring and a hydroxymethyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a moderate boiling point and a relatively low vapor pressure. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic butoxy group. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation and esterification. 4-Butoxybenzenemethanol is often utilized in the synthesis of other organic compounds and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other specialty chemicals. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this substance.

4-Butoxybenzyl alcohol is a primary alcohol that is used as a solvent and reagent. It has been shown to disrupt the architecture of bacterial cell walls by destabilizing the molybdenum cofactor, which is essential for the enzyme xylose reductase. The destabilization of this cofactor leads to inhibition of cell wall synthesis and subsequent death of bacteria. 4-Butoxybenzyl alcohol also has antibacterial properties and can be used to inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis. This compound may also act by inhibiting amide formation or by binding to magnesium, aluminium, or amides in the bacterial cell wall.
