2-Amino-4-methylbenzenemethanol

Description:
2-Amino-4-methylbenzenemethanol, also known as 4-Methyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)aniline, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of an amino group (-NH2) and a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to a benzene ring that also contains a methyl group. This compound typically appears as a solid or crystalline substance and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of the hydroxymethyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. Its molecular structure contributes to its potential applications in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and dyes, as it can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex molecules. The amino group imparts basic properties, while the hydroxymethyl group can participate in further chemical reactions, such as etherification or esterification. Safety data indicates that, like many amines, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled. Overall, 2-Amino-4-methylbenzenemethanol is a versatile compound with significant relevance in organic chemistry.
