Product Information

• Name: 3-Benzyloxybenzyl alcohol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Benzyloxybenzyl alcohol is a condensation product of benzaldehyde and acetone. Hydration leads to the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the carbonyl group and the hydroxyl group. The ammonium salt is formed by reaction with ammonium chloride in water, which then undergoes a cyclization to form bicyclic ring system. 3-Benzyloxybenzyl alcohol has been shown to have antihistamine properties, as it inhibits histamine release from mast cells.
