Product Information

• Name: 2-Phenylisopropyl alcohol
• Synonyms: 2-Phenyl-2-propanola,a-Dimethylbenzyl alcoholDimethyl phenyl carbinol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Phenylisopropyl alcohol is an organic compound that is used as a catalyst for the production of cumene and acetone. 2-Phenylisopropyl alcohol has been shown to have enzymatic activity, which may be due to its ability to transfer electrons from one molecule to another. This reaction mechanism can be seen in wastewater treatment, where it catalyzes the conversion of cumene hydroperoxide into cumene and acetone. 2-Phenylisopropyl alcohol also has analytical applications, where it is used as a reagent in chemical analysis. It can be used in a constant pressure method to measure the concentration of phenol in water samples, or it can be used in the determination of nitrogen atoms by measuring their removal and replacement reactions with hydrogen peroxide.
