[R,(-)]-4-Hydroxy-α-methylbenzene-1-propanol - Introduction
rhododendrol, chemical name 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl) ethanol, is an organic compound. It is a white crystalline solid with a melting point of 76-78 degrees Celsius, a molecular formula of C10H12O2, and a molecular weight of 164.2g/mol. rhododendrol has a fragrant odor.
rhododendrol is primarily used in cosmetics and personal care products as a whitening agent. It has the effect of inhibiting the production of melanocytes and can reduce the formation of pigmentation and freckles. In addition, rhododendrol can also be used in medicine as an anti-allergic agent.
The preparation method of rhododendrol is generally chemical synthesis. One commonly used method is the acidification of p-aminophenol with glycolic acid to give rhododendrol, followed by Aldehyde reduction to give rhododendrol.
Regarding safety information, rhododendrol is relatively safe under general conditions of use, but there are still certain precautions. It may be irritating to the skin and eyes, and should be rinsed with water in time after contact. Gas inhalation and ingestion should be avoided during preparation and use. They should be stored in a safe place before being touched by children. Any sudden allergic reaction or other symptoms should be timely medical treatment. It is best to perform a skin sensitivity test before using rhododendrol to determine whether it will cause adverse reactions.
