CAS 62285-58-9

2,6-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol

Description:

2,6-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol, with the CAS number 62285-58-9, is an aromatic alcohol characterized by its structure, which features a benzene ring substituted with two methyl groups at the 2 and 6 positions and a hydroxymethyl group (–CH2OH) attached to the benzene ring. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts some polar characteristics, allowing for hydrogen bonding. 2,6-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol is used in various applications, including as a fragrance component in cosmetics and personal care products, as well as in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Its chemical properties include moderate volatility and a relatively low boiling point, making it suitable for use in formulations that require a pleasant scent. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
