CAS 76350-85-1

(2'-methylbiphenyl-3-yl)methanol

Description:

(2'-Methylbiphenyl-3-yl)methanol, with the CAS number 76350-85-1, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond. The presence of a methyl group at the 2' position of one of the phenyl rings and a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) at the 3 position contributes to its unique chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic biphenyl structure. The hydroxymethyl group can participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. (2'-Methylbiphenyl-3-yl)methanol may be used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis or in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its specific properties, such as boiling point, melting point, and reactivity, would depend on the molecular environment and conditions under which it is studied.
