3,4-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol

Description:

3,4-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol, with the CAS number 6966-10-5, is an aromatic alcohol characterized by its structure, which features a benzene ring substituted with two methyl groups at the 3 and 4 positions and a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to the benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic benzene ring. 3,4-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol exhibits properties typical of alcohols, including the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding, which influences its boiling point and reactivity. It is used in various applications, including as a fragrance component in cosmetics and personal care products, as well as in organic synthesis. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Proper safety measures should be taken when working with this compound in laboratory or industrial settings.
