2-[[(2-Methylphenyl)methyl]amino]ethanol

Description:

2-[[(2-Methylphenyl)methyl]amino]ethanol, with the CAS number 91251-55-7, is an organic compound characterized by its amine and alcohol functional groups. It features a two-carbon ethanol backbone with a methyl group attached to a phenyl ring, specifically a 2-methylphenyl group, which contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics. The presence of the amino group allows for potential hydrogen bonding, enhancing its solubility in polar solvents. This compound may exhibit properties typical of both amines and alcohols, such as basicity and the ability to participate in nucleophilic reactions. Its structure suggests potential applications in pharmaceuticals or as a building block in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of more complex molecules. Additionally, the compound's specific stereochemistry and functional groups may influence its reactivity and interactions in biological systems. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with many organic compounds, due to potential toxicity or reactivity.
