2-Bromo-4-methylbenzenemethanol

Description:
2-Bromo-4-methylbenzenemethanol, with the CAS number 824-53-3, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a bromine atom, a methyl group, and a hydroxymethyl group attached to a benzene ring. This compound features a bromine substituent at the second position and a methyl group at the fourth position of the benzene ring, along with a hydroxymethyl group (–CH2OH) attached to the benzene, making it a derivative of toluene. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. The presence of the bromine atom contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. The hydroxymethyl group provides potential for further functionalization, enhancing its utility in organic synthesis. This compound may exhibit moderate solubility in polar solvents due to the hydroxyl group, while its aromatic structure contributes to its stability and potential applications in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as it may pose health risks.
