CAS 7306-12-9

Benzenepropanol, γ-methylene-, 1-acetate

Description:

Benzenepropanol, γ-methylene-, 1-acetate, also known by its CAS number 7306-12-9, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a benzene ring, a propanol moiety, and an acetate functional group. This compound typically exhibits a colorless to pale yellow liquid form and has a pleasant, sweet odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic benzene ring. The presence of the acetate group suggests that it may participate in esterification reactions and can be hydrolyzed to yield the corresponding alcohol and acetic acid. Benzenepropanol derivatives are often studied for their potential applications in the fragrance and flavor industries, as well as in organic synthesis. Additionally, the compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmacological research. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as compounds with aromatic structures can sometimes pose health risks, including toxicity and environmental concerns.
