CAS 62668-02-4: Benzenemethanol, a-[(1E)-2-phenylethenyl]-
Description:Benzenemethanol, α-[(1E)-2-phenylethenyl]- is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a benzene ring attached to a methanol group and an ethenyl group. This compound is part of the larger class of phenolic compounds and is known for its aromatic properties due to the presence of the benzene ring. It typically exhibits a colorless to pale yellow appearance and has a sweet, floral odor. The presence of the ethenyl group introduces unsaturation, which can influence its reactivity, making it susceptible to electrophilic addition reactions. This compound may also participate in hydrogen bonding due to the hydroxyl (-OH) group, affecting its solubility in various solvents. Its applications can range from use in organic synthesis to potential roles in fragrance formulations. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
