Nature:
1-PHENYL-1-HEXANOL is a colorless liquid with a characteristic aromatic taste at room temperature. It has a density of 0.96g/cm³ and is insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Its boiling point is 301-303 ° C.
Use:
1-PHENYL-1-HEXANOL has certain solvent and aromatic properties, so it has certain application value in some fields. It is commonly used as a raw material for fragrances and perfumers, and as a fragrance ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products. In addition, it can also be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and as a reagent in some organic synthesis reactions.
Method:
1-PHENYL-1-HEXANOL can be prepared by the reaction of styrene and hexanal (1-hexanal). The reaction conditions are generally carried out in the presence of an acidic catalyst, such as hydrochloric acid, to produce 1-PHENYL-1-HEXANOL, which is then purified by distillation.
Safety Information:
1-PHENYL-1-HEXANOL is generally non-toxic to the human body, but may irritate the eyes and respiratory tract at high concentrations, and may cause slight irritation when in contact with the skin. Therefore, when using, avoid prolonged contact and exposure, and avoid inhaling its vapor. Appropriate personal protective measures, such as gloves and goggles, should be taken when necessary.
