Chemical Structure

(αS)-α,2,5-Trimethylbenzenemethanol CAS 691881-94-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (αS)-α,2,5-Trimethylbenzenemethanol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(αS)-α,2,5-Trimethylbenzenemethanol (CAS 691881-94-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H14O and a molecular weight of 150.22 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, (αS)-α,2,5-Trimethylbenzenemethanol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 150.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
