2-(2,4-Dimethylphenyl)ethanol, with the CAS number 6597-59-7, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and alcohol functional group. It features a phenolic ring substituted with two methyl groups at the 2 and 4 positions, which contributes to its hydrophobic nature and influences its reactivity and solubility. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group classifies it as an alcohol, imparting properties such as the ability to engage in hydrogen bonding, which can enhance its solubility in polar solvents. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It may exhibit moderate volatility and is likely to be stable under standard conditions, although it should be handled with care due to potential reactivity with strong oxidizing agents. Its applications may include use in organic synthesis, as a building block for more complex molecules, or in the formulation of fragrances and flavors, owing to its aromatic properties. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage guidelines.
