3-Bromo-4-hydroxymethyl-phenol

Description:
3-Bromo-4-hydroxymethyl-phenol, identified by its CAS number 666747-04-2, is an organic compound that features a phenolic structure with a bromine atom and a hydroxymethyl group attached to the aromatic ring. This compound typically exhibits characteristics common to phenolic compounds, such as being a solid at room temperature and having a relatively high melting point. The presence of the bromine atom introduces halogen properties, which can influence its reactivity and solubility in various solvents. The hydroxymethyl group enhances its potential for hydrogen bonding, making it more soluble in polar solvents. This compound may be utilized in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis, in the production of pharmaceuticals, or as a reagent in chemical reactions. Additionally, the bromine substituent can impart antimicrobial properties, making it of interest in materials science and biochemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as halogenated compounds can pose health risks.
