Description

2,4,5-Trimethylbenzyl alcohol (2,4,5-TMB) is an organic solvent that has been used as a photocatalyst. It has been shown to be an efficient and selective radical oxidation catalyst for the conversion of toluene to benzaldehyde. 2,4,5-TMB can also be used in UV irradiation as a sensitizer for the production of oxiranes from ethylene oxide and oxygen. 2,4,5-TMB is soluble in many common solvents such as ethers and chlorinated hydrocarbons. The reaction product is not known with certainty because it has not been isolated. However, it is thought that it may form radical anion radicals when irradiated with UV light or other forms of radiation.
