α,α-Dimethylbenzyl alcohol（Cat No.:R069261）, also known as 2-phenyl-2-propanol, is an aromatic tertiary alcohol with the molecular formula C9H12O. Its structure features a central carbon atom bonded to a hydroxyl group, two methyl groups, and a phenyl ring, giving it steric bulk and stability. This compound appears as a colorless, crystalline solid or viscous liquid with a mild aromatic odor. It is commonly used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of fragrances, pharmaceuticals, and plasticizers. Its tertiary alcohol group resists oxidation, making it valuable in selective synthetic applications.
