2-Methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol

Description:
2-Methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with a methyl group and a trifluoromethyl group, along with a hydroxymethyl group. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with both alcohols and aromatic compounds, such as moderate solubility in polar solvents and potential reactivity in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and oxidation. The presence of the trifluoromethyl group enhances its lipophilicity and can influence its biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and material science. Additionally, the compound may display unique thermal and spectral properties due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the trifluoromethyl group, which can affect the electronic distribution within the molecule. Safety data sheets should be consulted for handling and storage guidelines, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper safety measures are taken.
