Description
2,3,5,6-Tetramethylbenzyl alcohol is an aromatic benzylic alcohol building block offered at a minimum purity of 95 % for synthetic and biochemical laboratory use. It carries CAS number 78985-13-4 and the empirical formula C₁₁H₁₆O, with a molar mass of 164,24 g/mol. Physical data include a flash point of 110,7 °C and a boiling point of 245,2 °C, supporting planning of heating, distillation, and storage steps. The hindered benzyl alcohol motif is of interest where steric bulk around the hydroxymethyl group influences reactivity or molecular recognition. Clear identity data and stated minimum assay help laboratories integrate this intermediate into multi-step routes and analytical workflows with reproducible starting quality.
This article is part of Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), in Solvents.

Questions about 2,3,5,6-Tetramethylbenzyl alcohol, min. 95 %, 500 mg
What is this article?
2,3,5,6-Tetramethylbenzyl alcohol, min. 95 %, 500 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
An analytical-grade solvent, often marked p.a., has impurity limits tight enough for classical analysis and for preparing reagents. It is not automatically low enough in UV absorbance for HPLC, and it is not dry enough for a water-sensitive reaction. The grade is the purchase.
A solvent dissolves. The grade says which impurities are low enough for the method. Analytical grade is the ordinary pure solvent. HPLC and LC-MS grades limit the absorbance and the ions that would become peaks or background. A dry solvent has had water removed. A deuterated solvent is for NMR, where the hydrogen signal would otherwise drown the sample. Technical grade is for cleaning and for synthesis that does not need a chromatogram. Identity is on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Hazards follow ECHA, the CLP Regulation and REACH.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Solvents. The sub-category is Analytical grade solvents (p.a.). The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, Dry & deuterated solvents (NMR, synthesis), Technical & synthesis grade solvents and Green & alternative solvents.
What should I check before I order?
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
