2-Phenyl-2-propanol

2-Phenyl-2-propanol is a chemical compound that belongs to the alcohol group.

2-Phenyl-2-propanol can be synthesized through Grignard reaction between phenylmagnesium bromide and acetone.

[5][6] 2-Phenyl-2-propanol is a white to pale-yellow, odorless solid which is combustible yet difficult to ignite and barely dissolves in water.

[1][2] 2-Phenyl-2-propanol can either be applied in organic syntheses, or be reactants or intermediates in agrochemical, medical, and dyestuff fields.

[7] According to a report of Federal Institute for Risk Assessment in 2008, there is strong evidence that 2-phenyl-2-propanol may lead to allergic reactions for humans.
