• Synonyms: (2-Methylphenyl)phenylmethanol2-MethylbenzhydrolNSC 27910
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Methylbenzhydrol is an organic compound that belongs to the group of five-membered heterocyclic compounds. The crystal structure of 2-methylbenzhydrol has been determined by X-ray crystallography, and it reacts with a rhesus monkey in a stereoselective manner. It is also found as one of two diastereomers in the reaction between benzaldehyde and hydroxylamine. The molecular ion peak for 2-methylbenzhydrol can be detected using mass spectrometry, and the major product ions are ions corresponding to the loss of methanol (CHOH) from the molecule. Other functional groups present in this compound include an aldehyde and a hydroxy group. The reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) plates used to separate 2-methylbenzhydrol from other similar compounds should be stable at room temperature, but will become unstable if heated to more than 40°C.
