3,5-Dimethylphenol is an organic compound with a hydroxyl group. It is a colorless liquid that has low toxicity and is soluble in water. The reaction of 3,5-dimethylphenol with hydrogen peroxide produces an intermediate called dipropyl ether, which can be used as a solvent. 3,5-Dimethylphenol is often used for the oxidation of alcohols to their corresponding ketones or aldehydes. This process can be catalysed by copper chloride, borane-tetrahydrofuran complex, or hydrochloric acid. 3,5-Dimethylphenol also reacts with uv light to produce free radicals that initiate the oxidation of other substances such as organic solutions.
