2-(2-Methoxyphenyl)ethanol

Description:

2-(2-Methoxyphenyl)ethanol, also known as o-Methoxyphenethyl alcohol, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and alcohol functional group. It features a methoxy group (-OCH3) attached to a phenyl ring, which is further connected to an ethanol moiety. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group imparts some polar characteristics, allowing for hydrogen bonding. 2-(2-Methoxyphenyl)ethanol is often used in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and fragrances, and it may exhibit biological activity, including potential antioxidant properties. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from light is recommended to maintain its stability.

2-(2-Methoxyphenethyl) alcohol (2MPE) is a ligand that binds to the phenylpropanoid glycosides, which are responsible for the biosynthesis of plant pigments. It has been shown to inhibit tyrosinase and tyrosinase activity in vitro. 2MPE is used in radiopharmaceuticals as a radioactive label. It has also been shown to inhibit melanogenesis and the synthesis of volatile compounds in corncob at high temperatures. 2MPE is found in rhodiola and together with 2-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, it inhibits bacterial growth by inhibiting protein synthesis.
