2-BIPHENYLMETHANOL - Introduction
2-BIPHENYLMETHANOL(2-BIPHENYLMETHANOL) is an organic compound. Its molecular formula is C13H12O and its molecular weight is 184.24g/mol.
2-BIPHENYLMETHANOL is a colorless solid with a faint aromatic odor at room temperature. It has some important physical and chemical properties, such as a melting point of 75-78 ° C and a boiling point of 315-317 ° C. It is practically insoluble in water, but soluble in most organic solvents such as alcohols and ethers.
2-BIPHENYLMETHANOL has a wide range of applications in the field of chemistry and medicine. It is an important intermediate for the synthesis of other organic compounds, such as heterocyclic compounds, organometallic complexes and so on. It is also useful as an antioxidant, stabilizer and UV absorber. In addition, it is also used in the preparation of high molecular polymers and resins.
There are various methods for preparing 2-BIPHENYLMETHANOL. The common method is through the reduction of benzoic acid. The specific preparation method may be catalytic reduction of benzoic acid with a reducing agent such as hydrogen, reduction with sodium borohydride, or reduction with other metal reducing agents such as lithium aluminum hydride. These methods can selectively reduce benzoic acid to 2-BIPHENYLMETHANOL.
With regard to safety information, 2-BIPHENYLMETHANOL generally does not cause serious harm to the human body under regular conditions of use. However, as a chemical, it is still necessary to follow safe handling procedures, avoid contact with skin and eyes, and ensure that it is used in a well-ventilated environment. In case of accidental contact or ingestion, medical help should be sought immediately. In addition, 2-BIPHENYLMETHANOL should be kept away from fire sources and stored in a dark and dry place.
