α-Ethyl-α-methylbenzeneethanol

Description:
α-Ethyl-α-methylbenzeneethanol, also known as 1-(1-ethyl-2-methylphenyl)ethanol, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with both ethyl and methyl groups, along with a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon portions. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts some polar characteristics, allowing for hydrogen bonding. α-Ethyl-α-methylbenzeneethanol is used in various applications, including as a solvent and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Its chemical properties include moderate volatility and reactivity, particularly in reactions involving the hydroxyl group, such as esterification and oxidation. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use in laboratory or industrial settings.
