What is ALPHA-METHYLBENZYL ALCOHOL?
Chemical properties
Colorless liquid
Occurrence
Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature.
Preparation
By hydrogenation or reduction of acetophenone; or from methyl magnesium chloride plus benzaldehyde by a Grignard-type reaction (Bedoukian, 1967).
Definition
ChEBI: 1-phenylethanol is an aromatic alcohol that is ethanol substituted by a phenyl group at position 1. It has a role as a mouse metabolite.
Metabolism
Styrallyl alcohol is converted in rabbits into hippuric acid and methylphenylcarbinyl glucuronide, both optical forms of the carbinol behaving similarly. A small proportion (1-2%) is excreted as mandelic acid (Wjlliams, 1959).
Purification Methods
Purify the alcohol via its hydrogen phthalate. [See Houssa & Kenyon J Chem Soc 2260 1930.] Shake it with a solution of ferrous sulfate, and th
