3-Chloro-α-methylbenzenemethanol

Description:

3-Chloro-α-methylbenzenemethanol, also known as 3-chloro-α-methylbenzyl alcohol, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of both a chlorine atom and a hydroxyl group. The compound features a chlorinated aromatic ring, which contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. The α-methyl group indicates that there is a methyl substituent adjacent to the benzyl alcohol moiety, influencing its steric and electronic properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and may exhibit moderate solubility in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group. The chlorine substituent can enhance the compound's reactivity in nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it useful in various chemical syntheses. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as chlorinated compounds can pose environmental and health risks. Overall, 3-chloro-α-methylbenzenemethanol is of interest in both industrial and research contexts for its unique chemical properties.

3-Chloro-±-methylbenzyl Alcohol

CAS: 6939-95-3

3-Chloro-±-methylbenzyl Alcohol is an alcohol that can be used as a biocatalyst. It is chiral and has been shown to be an efficient catalyst for the asymmetric synthesis of (R)-2,3-butanediol in the presence of saccharomyces cerevisiae. This compound has also been shown to be an effective optical resolution agent, with a high optical purity and excellent stability in organic solvents. 3-Chloro-±-methylbenzyl Alcohol is useful in the catalyzed conversion of glucose into ethanol, which is a dry weight procedure that does not require water or addition of cosubstrate.
