2,3,5,6-Tetramethyl-1,4-benzenedimethanol

Description:
2,3,5,6-Tetramethyl-1,4-benzenedimethanol, with the CAS number 7522-62-5, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a benzene ring substituted with four methyl groups and two hydroxymethyl groups. This compound is a type of dimethylbenzene derivative, exhibiting properties typical of polyfunctional alcohols. It is generally a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. The presence of multiple methyl groups contributes to its hydrophobic character, while the hydroxymethyl groups provide potential for hydrogen bonding, influencing its solubility in various solvents. The compound is likely to have applications in organic synthesis, potentially serving as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals or as a modifier in polymer chemistry. Its physical and chemical properties, such as boiling point, melting point, and reactivity, would be influenced by the steric hindrance introduced by the methyl groups, which can affect its behavior in chemical reactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage guidelines.
