CAS: 873-75-6

4-Bromobenzyl alcohol is a reactive chemical that reacts with water to form the hydroxyl group and hydrogen bond. It has been shown to inhibit the reaction of ethyl formate with biphenyl by cleaving the molecule and forming a new site specific. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been used to study the reactivity of 4-bromobenzyl alcohol in model systems. The reaction mechanism is thought to be similar to that of 2-bromoethanol, which is an inhibitor molecule for this process. 4-Bromobenzyl alcohol's magnetic resonance spectrum shows proton peaks at 3.02 ppm, 2.19 ppm, and 1.77 ppm, as well as a signal at 8.03 ppm corresponding to the hydroxyl group.
