3-Benzyloxycinnamyl alcohol; CAS No.: 155697-42-0;3-Benzyloxycinnamyl alcohol. PROPERTIES: 3-Benzyloxycinnamyl alcohol is a benzyloxy-substituted cinnamyl alcohol with molecular formula C13H14O3. It typically exists as a colorless liquid with a boiling point around 150-155 C. The compound has limited water solubility but dissolves well in organic solvents like ethanol or ethyl acetate. It exhibits moderate thermal stability but may decompose when exposed to high temperatures or strong acids, releasing toxic fumes. Proper storage involves keeping it in tightly sealed containers below 30 C, protected from light and moisture. APPLICATIONS: In organic synthesis, this compound serves as a versatile intermediate for creating complex aromatic molecules. The benzyloxy substituent provides temporary protection for the hydroxyl group, while the cinnamyl alcohol structure enables further functionalization through oxidation or etherification (The Journal of Organic Chemistry). In pharmaceutical development, 3-Benzyloxycinnamyl alcohol contributes to the synthesis of antimicrobial agents where the aromatic scaffold enhances binding to microbial targets (Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy). The compound also finds application in materials science as a building block for organic electronics, where its electron-deficient aromatic core modulates the electronic properties of derived materials (Advanced Materials).
