• Description: 1-(3-Methylphenyl)ethanol is an organic compound that has a hydroxyl group, homochiral carbonyl group, and aromatic hydrocarbon. It is a product of the catalysed reaction between a hydroxyl compound and an alkyne molecule. The reaction mechanism begins with the formation of an imine intermediate. This intermediate then undergoes a double displacement to form the desired product and regenerate the catalyst. 1-(3-Methylphenyl)ethanol can be used as a building block for other organic compounds, such as epoxides or esters.
