3-Ethoxybenzenemethanol, also known by its CAS number 71648-21-0, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of an ethoxy group and a benzyl alcohol moiety. This compound features a benzene ring substituted at the meta position with an ethoxy group (-OCH2CH3) and a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH), which contributes to its solubility in organic solvents and potential hydrogen bonding capabilities. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. The compound is expected to exhibit moderate volatility and may have a relatively low boiling point compared to larger aromatic compounds. Its functional groups suggest potential applications in organic synthesis, as well as in the formulation of fragrances or as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken due to potential irritant properties.
