Description

2-Amino-4-methylphenol is an organic compound that belongs to the group of p2 molecules. It has been shown to react with hydroxyl radicals in the human liver, and this reaction may be a significant mechanism for its toxicity. 2-Amino-4-methylphenol also reacts with low concentrations of hydrochloric acid (0.1 M) to form a stable intermediate with an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the amine nitrogen and the carbonyl carbon. This intermediate then reacts with more hydrochloric acid to form 4-(hydroxymethyl)benzoic acid and 2-aminoethanol. The NMR spectra of 2-amino-4-methylphenol show only one resonance due to the absence of electronegative groups on the molecule, which makes it resistant to oxidation by air or light. The high resistance of 2-amino-4-methylphenol makes it an ideal chemical
