Cas no 587-03-1 (3-Methylbenzyl alcohol)

3-Methylbenzyl alcohol (CAS 587-03-1) is an aromatic alcohol with the molecular formula C?H??O. It is a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild, floral odor. This compound is commonly used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of fragrances, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Its benzylic hydroxyl group makes it a versatile building block for further functionalization, such as esterification or oxidation. The methyl substitution on the benzene ring enhances its stability and influences reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. 3-Methylbenzyl alcohol is soluble in organic solvents but exhibits limited solubility in water, making it suitable for non-aqueous applications. Proper handling requires standard safety precautions for aromatic alcohols.
