4′-Methyl[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-ol, also known by its CAS number 26191-64-0, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure with a hydroxyl group and a methyl group attached to the para position of one of the phenyl rings. This compound typically appears as a solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature due to the biphenyl framework. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its potential as a phenolic compound, which can exhibit antioxidant properties and participate in hydrogen bonding. Additionally, the methyl group can influence the compound's steric and electronic properties, potentially affecting its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. 4′-Methyl[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-ol may find applications in various fields, including materials science and organic synthesis, due to its unique structural features. However, specific safety and handling guidelines should be followed, as with any chemical substance, to mitigate risks associated with its use.

4'-Methyl-1,1'-biphenyl-4-ol is a chiral compound that has been found in nature. It is a racemic mixture of two enantiomers, which means it can be separated into its two mirror images. The enantiomer with the higher reaction rate is 4'-methyl-1,1'-biphenyl-4-ol (S) and the enantiomer with the lower reaction rate is 4'-methyl-1,1'-biphenyl-4-ol (R). The two enantiomers react differently to chloride ions because one needs an extra methyl group for desymmetrization. This difference in reactivity leads to different rates of reaction and kinetic behavior. 4′-Methyl biphenylol has also been shown to have antioxidant properties by scavenging reactive oxygen species generated by thiourea.
