Benzyl alcohol, also known as benzyl alcohol, molecular formula C6H5CH2OH, density 1.045g/mLat25 °C (lit.), is the simplest fatty alcohol containing phenyl, can be regarded as hydroxymethyl-substituted benzene. It is a colorless transparent viscous liquid with a weak aromatic odor, and sometimes benzyl alcohol will be bitter almond smell due to oxidation microstrip benzaldehyde after a long time. It has polar Chemicalbook, low toxicity, low vapor pressure, so it is used as an alcohol solvent. Combustible. Slightly soluble in water (about 1 gram of benzyl alcohol soluble in 25 ml of water), miscible with ethanol, ether, benzene, and other organic solvents. Benzyl alcohol is mainly found in essential oils in its free or ester form, such as jasmine oil, ylang ylang oil, frangipani flower oil, hyacinth oil, moon sesame oil, Peruvian balsam, and tolu balsam.
Benzyl alcohol is used as a preservative for ointments, a desiccant for fibers, nylon filaments and plastic films, a stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride, a photographic developer, a solvent for acetate, ink, coatings, paints, epoxy resin coatings, dyes, casein, shellac and gelatin, etc., to prepare benzyl esters or ether intermediates. It is also used in the preparation of spices and flavorings (mostly benzyl esters of fatty acids) in Chemicalbook as additives in soaps, perfumes, cosmetics and other products. Because it has almost the same refractive index as quartz and wool fibers, it is used as a discriminating agent for quartz and wool fibers. It is used as a fixative and diluent in the fragrance industry
