Thymol

Description:
Thymol, with the CAS number 89-83-8, is a natural monoterpenoid phenol derivative of cymene, primarily found in thyme oil. It is characterized by its colorless to pale yellow appearance and a strong aromatic odor reminiscent of thyme. Thymol has a molecular formula of C10H14O and a molecular weight of approximately 150.22 g/mol. It exhibits antimicrobial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties, making it valuable in various applications, including food preservation, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Thymol is soluble in alcohol and oils but has limited solubility in water. Its boiling point is relatively high, and it can be distilled without decomposition. Additionally, thymol is recognized for its potential therapeutic effects, including anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Due to its biological activity, it is often used in traditional medicine and as a natural pesticide. However, safety precautions should be taken when handling thymol, as it can be irritating to the skin and mucous membranes.
