3-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

pink or beige to brown crystalline powder

Uses

3-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol is used as an intermediate to produce other chemicals like 3-Oxy-1'-acetoxy-1-methyl-benzol.

Definition

ChEBI: A hydroxybenzyl alcohol that is phenol substituted at position C-3 by a hydroxymethyl group.

Synthesis Reference(s)

The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 14, p. 1089, 1949 DOI: 10.1021/jo01158a018
Synthesis, p. 365, 1979

Contact allergens

Methylol phenols are sensitizers contained in resins based on phenol and formaldehyde of the resol type. Cross-reactivity is possible with other phenol derivative molecules.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the alcohol from *C6H6 or CHCl3. [Beilstein 6 III 4545, 6 IV 5907.]
