4-Ethoxy-3-methoxy-benzenemethanol - Introduction

alcohol is an organic compound. The following is a brief description of its nature, use, preparation and safety information:

Nature:
-Appearance: alcohol is usually a colorless to pale yellow solid or liquid.
-Solubility: It can be dissolved in many organic solvents, such as ethanol, chloroform and dimethyl sulfoxide.
-Melting point: Its melting point range is usually between 30-40°C.

Use:
-or alcohol is widely used in drug synthesis and organic synthesis reactions.
-It can be used as a starting material for the synthesis of other organic compounds.

Preparation Method:
Synthesis of alcohol is usually carried out by the following steps:
1. Obtaining para-methoxybenzaldehyde as the starting material.
2. Under alkaline conditions, the aldehyde group is reduced to a hydroxyl group through an alcohol-conditioned reaction (reaction with alcohol and sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide).
3. Ethoxyethyl acetate was added to the reaction solution so that the ethoxy group was substituted for the hydroxyl group in the aldehyde.

Safety Information:
-Process alcohol use and storage with care to prevent inhalation, skin contact and eye contact.
-Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles and protective clothing when used.
-Maintain good ventilation when handling the compound.
-Follow appropriate safety procedures during storage and handling, and avoid contact with oxidizing agents.
-If necessary, dispose of waste compounds properly.
