Benzenemethanol, 3-(acetyloxy)-

Description:
Benzenemethanol, 3-(acetyloxy)-, also known as 3-acetoxybenzyl alcohol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzene ring substituted with both a hydroxymethyl group and an acetoxy group. Its molecular structure features a hydroxymethyl (-CH2OH) group attached to the benzene ring at the meta position relative to the acetoxy (-OCOCH3) group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in organic solvents. It exhibits properties typical of both alcohols and esters, including the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding due to the hydroxyl group. The acetoxy group can undergo hydrolysis, leading to the release of acetic acid and the corresponding alcohol. Benzenemethanol, 3-(acetyloxy)- may be utilized in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the formulation of fragrances or flavoring agents. Its reactivity and functional groups make it a valuable compound in chemical research and industrial applications.
