CAS 885964-02-3

3′,5′-Dimethyl[1,1′-biphenyl]-3-methanol

Description:

3′,5′-Dimethyl[1,1′-biphenyl]-3-methanol, identified by its CAS number 885964-02-3, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond. The presence of two methyl groups at the 3′ and 5′ positions on one of the phenyl rings contributes to its hydrophobic nature and can influence its solubility and reactivity. The hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) at the 3-position of the biphenyl framework introduces a polar functional group, enhancing its potential for hydrogen bonding and increasing its solubility in polar solvents. This compound may exhibit interesting chemical properties, including potential applications in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, or as a ligand in coordination chemistry. Its structural features suggest that it could participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation or substitution, depending on the reaction conditions. As with many organic compounds, safety data and handling precautions should be considered when working with this substance.
