α-Vinylbenzyl alcohol(Cat No.:L043878)is an aromatic alcohol featuring a benzene ring substituted with both a hydroxymethyl group and a vinyl group at the benzylic (α) position. This bifunctional molecule is valuable in polymer chemistry and organic synthesis, serving as a monomer or reactive intermediate. The hydroxyl group enables esterification or etherification, while the vinyl group allows for radical polymerization or cross-linking. Its dual reactivity supports the synthesis of functional polymers, resins, and surface-modified materials. α-Vinylbenzyl alcohol is particularly useful in applications requiring site-specific functionalization or tailored polymer architectures.
