3,7-Dimethyl-7-octen-1-ol(CAS#141-25-3)

Introduction

Magenta alcohol (also known as methyl benzotriazole cyclohexylbenzyl alcohol) is an organic compound. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation, and safety information of magenta alcohol:Properties: Magenta alcohol is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with an aromatic odor. It has good solubility in solvents but is insoluble in water.Uses: Magenta alcohol is used as a solvent and intermediate in the chemical industry. It can also be used as a reagent for photometric analysis and as a substrate for dye enzymes.Preparation: Magenta alcohol is typically prepared from orthoformaldehyde and cyclohexanone through a condensation reaction. Specific preparation methods include silica gel-catalyzed condensation under light/heat conditions and metal-catalyzed condensation.Safety Information: Magenta alcohol is generally safe under normal usage conditions. It can enter the human body through inhalation, skin contact, and ingestion, and may have certain health effects. Good laboratory practices should be followed during handling to avoid excessive exposure to magenta alcohol vapors or liquids. When storing magenta alcohol, keep it in a sealed container in a well-ventilated area, away from fire and oxidizing agents.
