Description |
α-Methylbenzyl alcohol has a mild hyacinth-gardenia odor. |
|
Chemical Properties |
α-Methylbenzyl alcohol has a mild hyacinth–gardenia odor. |
|
Chemical Properties |
colourless liquid |
|
Chemical Properties |
DL-1-Phenethylalcohol has been identified as a volatile component of food (e.g., in tea aroma and mushrooms). The alcohol is a colorless liquid with a dry, rose-like odor, slightly reminiscent of hawthorn. |
|
Preparation |
By oxidation of ethylbenzene or by reduction of acetophenone. |
|
Definition |
ChEBI: An aromatic alcohol that is ethanol substituted by a phenyl group at position 1. |
|
Taste threshold values |
Taste characteristics at 50 ppm: chemical, medicinal, with a balsamic vanilla woody nuance. |
|
General Description |
A colorless liquid. Insoluble in water and less dense than water. Contact may slightly irritate skin, eyes and mucous membranes. May be slightly toxic by ingestion, inhalation and skin absorption. Used to make other chemicals. |
|
Air & Water Reactions |
Insoluble in water. |
|
Health Hazard |
Irritating to the skin, eyes, nose, throat, and upper respiratory tract. |
|
Fire Hazard |
Combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily. When heated, vapors may form explosive mixtures with air: indoors, outdoors and sewers explosion hazards. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways. Substance may be transported in a molten form. |
|
Safety Profile |
Poison by ingestion and subcutaneous routes. Moderately toxic by skin contact. A skin and severe eye irritant. Questionable carcinogen. Combustible when exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidming materials. To fight fire, use alcohol foam, foam, CO2, dry chemical |
|
Purification Methods |
Purify the alcohol via its hydrogen phthalate. [See Houssa & Kenyon J Chem Soc 2260 1930.] Shake it with a solution of ferrous sulfate, and th |
