3-Methoxybenzyl alcohol

Description:

3-Methoxybenzyl alcohol, with the CAS number 6971-51-3, is an organic compound characterized by a benzene ring substituted with a methoxy group (-OCH3) and a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) at the meta position. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but its solubility in water is limited due to its hydrophobic benzene ring. 3-Methoxybenzyl alcohol is often used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and fragrances. It exhibits properties typical of alcohols, including the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding, which influences its boiling point and reactivity. Additionally, it may possess mild antimicrobial properties, making it of interest in various applications. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation.
