1-(2-Methylphenyl)cyclopropanemethanol

Description:

1-(2-Methylphenyl)cyclopropanemethanol, identified by its CAS number 886366-30-9, is an organic compound characterized by a cyclopropane ring bonded to a phenyl group that has a methyl substituent in the ortho position. This compound features a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group, which classifies it as an alcohol. The presence of the cyclopropane structure contributes to its unique three-dimensional conformation, potentially influencing its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. The methyl group on the phenyl ring can affect the compound's electronic properties and steric hindrance, which may play a role in its biological activity or chemical reactivity. Typically, compounds like this may exhibit interesting properties such as solubility in organic solvents, varying degrees of stability, and potential applications in pharmaceuticals or as intermediates in organic synthesis. However, specific physical properties such as boiling point, melting point, and solubility would require empirical data for precise characterization.
