Description
3-Methylbenzyl alcohol is an aromatic primary alcohol supplied at a minimum purity of 95 %, with CAS number 587-03-1 and empirical formula C₈H₁₀O. Its molar mass is 122,16 g/mol and the density is 1,015 g/cm³, while the flash point is 106 °C, supporting safe handling considerations in standard laboratory workflows. As a substituted benzyl alcohol, the compound is useful in building blocks for fine chemicals, fragrance-related research, and exploratory medicinal chemistry. The material is offered from manufacturer Carl ROTH for routine bench use in research and development settings. Laboratories can incorporate it into multistep sequences, protection–deprotection studies, or structure–activity explorations that call for a defined aromatic alcohol of known molecular weight and physical profile. Clear identification via CAS and formula supports traceability in documentation and inventory systems.

Questions about 3-Methylbenzyl alcohol, min. 95 %, 100 g
What is this article?
3-Methylbenzyl alcohol, min. 95 %, 100 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
