CAS 636-72-6

2-Thiophenemethanol

Description:

2-Thiophenemethanol, with the CAS number 636-72-6, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a thiophene ring and a hydroxymethyl group. This compound features a five-membered aromatic ring containing sulfur, which contributes to its unique chemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) makes it a potential alcohol, which can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and esterification. 2-Thiophenemethanol is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate polarity due to the hydroxyl group. Its structure allows for potential applications in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and as a building block in the development of functional materials. Additionally, the thiophene moiety can impart interesting electronic properties, making it relevant in the field of materials science, particularly in organic electronics and sensors. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
