3-Ethynylbenzenemethanol, also known by its CAS number 10602-07-0, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an ethynyl group and a benzyl alcohol functional group. This compound features a phenyl ring substituted with an ethynyl group at the meta position relative to the hydroxymethyl group. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. The presence of the ethynyl group imparts unique reactivity, making it useful in various synthetic applications, particularly in organic synthesis and materials science. The hydroxymethyl group contributes to its potential as a building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules. 3-Ethynylbenzenemethanol may exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water, reflecting its hydrophobic characteristics. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
