2-[[(2-Chlorophenyl)methyl]thio]ethanol

Description:

2-[[(2-Chlorophenyl)methyl]thio]ethanol, with the CAS number 89040-09-5, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a thioether functional group and a hydroxyl group. It features a two-carbon ethyl chain linked to a thiol group, which is further substituted with a 2-chlorophenylmethyl group. This structure imparts both hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, making it soluble in various organic solvents while also exhibiting some solubility in water. The presence of the chlorine atom on the phenyl ring can influence its reactivity and biological activity, potentially enhancing its role in medicinal chemistry. The compound may exhibit various chemical behaviors, including nucleophilic substitution reactions due to the thiol group, and it may participate in hydrogen bonding due to the hydroxyl group. Its unique structure suggests potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with many organic compounds, due to potential toxicity or reactivity.
