CAS 836-43-1

4-Benzyloxybenzyl alcohol

Description:

4-Benzyloxybenzyl alcohol, with the CAS number 836-43-1, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure. It features a benzyl alcohol moiety substituted with a benzyloxy group at the para position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic components. The presence of both hydroxyl (-OH) and ether (-O-) functional groups contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including etherification and oxidation. Additionally, 4-Benzyloxybenzyl alcohol can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other organic compounds. Its properties, such as boiling point and melting point, can vary based on the specific conditions and purity of the sample. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, following appropriate safety protocols to avoid exposure.

CAS: 836-43-1

4-Benzyloxybenzyl alcohol is a potent inhibitor of CXCR4, a receptor for chemokines that is involved in the trafficking of immune cells. It binds to CXCR4 and blocks its activation by HIV-1 gp120. 4-Benzyloxybenzyl alcohol inhibits both CXCR4-dependent and -independent chemotaxis. This compound also has a hydroxy group which can be used for the synthesis of β-amino acids or p-hydroxybenzoic acid. 4-Benzyloxybenzyl alcohol also has a monoclonal antibody that recognizes it, which can be used as an immunogen to raise antibodies against this molecule. The disulfide bond in 4-Benzyloxybenzyl alcohol prevents oxidation, which makes it stable at high temperatures.
