1-Phenyl-2-propanol(CAS: 14898-87-4)

1-Phenyl-2-propanol (CAS: 14898-87-4) is regulated under GHS (Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals) for its flammability and skin irritation properties. It is also subject to REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) requirements for EU manufacturers and importers. FDA and EPA regulations may also apply for its use in food products and environmental releases.

Alternatives to 1-Phenyl-2-propanol include 2-Propanol and other similar isomers. Common substitutes in synthesis include benzyl alcohol and cyclohexanol. These alternatives can offer similar functionalities or can be used based on specific reaction conditions and requirements.

The market for 1-Phenyl-2-propanol is driven by its use in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and as a solvent in various industries. Research trends focus on its potential as a precursor in organic synthesis and as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional solvents. Demand is expected to grow with increasing demand for specialty chemicals in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical sectors.

Waste containing 1-Phenyl-2-propanol should be collected in appropriate containers and stored away from ignition sources. It can be incinerated under controlled conditions or disposed of through professional waste disposal services that comply with local regulations. Proper handling and disposal help minimize environmental impact and ensure safety during waste management processes.
