5-Methoxy-2-methylbenzenemethanol

Description:
5-Methoxy-2-methylbenzenemethanol, also known by its CAS number 73502-04-2, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a methoxy group (-OCH3) and a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to a methyl-substituted benzene ring. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with aromatic alcohols, such as moderate solubility in organic solvents and potential solubility in water due to the presence of the hydroxymethyl group. It may display a range of functional properties, including the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding due to the hydroxyl group, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. The methoxy group can also affect the electronic properties of the aromatic ring, potentially enhancing its reactivity in electrophilic substitution reactions. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled. Overall, 5-Methoxy-2-methylbenzenemethanol is of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and organic synthesis.
