4-Chlorobenzyl alcohol

Description:

4-Chlorobenzyl alcohol, with the CAS number 873-76-7, is an organic compound characterized by a benzyl alcohol structure where a chlorine atom is substituted at the para position of the benzene ring. This compound appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor. It is moderately soluble in water and more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and esterification. 4-Chlorobenzyl alcohol is often used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds. Additionally, it exhibits antimicrobial properties, making it useful in certain applications. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances is recommended to maintain its stability and efficacy.

4-Chlorobenzyl alcohol is a lipase inhibitor that is used in the treatment of pancreatic disorders. It binds to the active site of pancreatic lipase, which prevents the enzyme from hydrolyzing the ester bonds of glycol esters and long chain fatty acids, thereby inhibiting their absorption. This product does not inhibit other enzymes (e.g., amylase) or have an effect on chloride secretion. The reaction with 4-chlorobenzyl alcohol can also be catalyzed by hydrogen bonding between the carboxylic acid group and a hydroxyl group. Miconazole nitrate is a synthetic antifungal agent that inhibits ergosterol synthesis by binding to 14-alpha demethylase, which converts lanosterol into ergosterol. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of fungi such as Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger when combined with 4-chlorobenzyl alcohol. Cleavage products
