3,5-Dibenzyloxybenzyl alcohol（Cat No.:L018492）is an aromatic alcohol with the molecular formula C21H20O3. It features a benzene ring substituted at the 3- and 5-positions with benzyloxy groups (–OCH₂Ph) and a benzyl alcohol moiety (–CH₂OH) at the para position. This compound serves as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of complex molecules such as pharmaceuticals, natural products, and functionalized ligands. The benzyloxy groups offer protective functionality that can be selectively removed under mild conditions. It typically appears as a white crystalline solid and should be handled using standard laboratory precautions.
