4-Methylbenzeneethanol

Description:

4-Methylbenzeneethanol, also known as p-tolylmethanol, is an organic compound characterized by a benzene ring substituted with a methyl group and a hydroxymethyl group. Its molecular structure features a toluene moiety (the methyl-substituted benzene) linked to a hydroxymethyl group, making it an alcohol. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group. 4-Methylbenzeneethanol is used in various applications, including as a solvent, in the synthesis of other organic compounds, and in the fragrance industry. Its chemical properties include the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding due to the hydroxyl group, which influences its boiling point and reactivity. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Proper storage and handling protocols should be followed to ensure safety in laboratory and industrial settings.
