1-(3-Methylphenyl)ethanol

Description:

1-(3-Methylphenyl)ethanol, also known as 3-Methylphenyl ethanol, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and alcohol functional group. It features a phenyl ring substituted with a methyl group at the meta position and a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to a two-carbon ethyl chain. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, floral odor, making it of interest in the fragrance industry. It is moderately soluble in water and more soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its amphiphilic nature. The compound exhibits typical alcohol properties, including the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding, which influences its boiling point and solubility. Additionally, it can undergo various chemical reactions, such as oxidation to form ketones or aldehydes. Its applications extend beyond perfumery to potential uses in pharmaceuticals and as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data indicates that, like many organic solvents, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact.

1-(3-Methylphenyl)ethanol

CAS: 7287-81-2

1-(3-Methylphenyl)ethanol is an organic compound that has a hydroxyl group, homochiral carbonyl group, and aromatic hydrocarbon. It is a product of the catalysed reaction between a hydroxyl compound and an alkyne molecule. The reaction mechanism begins with the formation of an imine intermediate. This intermediate then undergoes a double displacement to form the desired product and regenerate the catalyst. 1-(3-Methylphenyl)ethanol can be used as a building block for other organic compounds, such as epoxides or esters.
