α,4-Dimethyl-α-(1-methylcyclopropyl)benzenemethanol

Description:

α,4-Dimethyl-α-(1-methylcyclopropyl)benzenemethanol, with the CAS number 73728-61-7, is an organic compound characterized by its complex structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with multiple alkyl groups. This compound features a dimethyl group at the alpha position and a 1-methylcyclopropyl group, contributing to its unique steric and electronic properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor, indicative of its aromatic nature. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group in the benzenemethanol structure suggests that it may exhibit moderate solubility in polar solvents, while its hydrophobic alkyl groups enhance its solubility in non-polar solvents. This compound may be of interest in various applications, including fragrance formulations and as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. Its reactivity can be influenced by the steric hindrance introduced by the bulky substituents, which may affect its behavior in chemical reactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage guidelines.
