2,4-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to slightly yellow

Uses

2,4-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol is an aryl alcohol that can be used in the preparation of aldehydes, ketones and esters by oxidation reactions. It is also used in the preparation of thermoplastic polymers.

Synthesis

2,4-Dimethylbenzaldehyde

15764-16-6

2,4-DIMETHYLBENZYL ALCOHOL

16308-92-2

General procedure for the synthesis of (2,4-dimethylphenyl)methanol from 2,4-dimethylbenzaldehyde: To a methanolic solution (100 mL) of 2,4-dimethylbenzaldehyde (10.4 g) was slowly added sodium borohydride (0.83 g) at 0 °C. The reaction mixture was stirred continuously at 0 °C for 1 hour. Upon completion of the reaction, the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent. Water was added to the concentrated residue and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed sequentially with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, water and saturated brine to remove impurities. The washed organic layer was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (2,4-dimethylphenyl)methanol as a colorless oil (yield 10.8 g, quantitative yield). The product was characterized by 1H-NMR (CDCl3) with chemical shifts δ: 1.55 (1H, t, J = 5.4 Hz), 2.31 (3H, s), 2.33 (3H, s), 4.64 (2H, d, J = 5.4 Hz), 6.98-7.00 (2H, m), 7.19-7.22 (1H, m).
