Osthenol(CAS: 484-14-0)

Osthenol (CAS: 484-14-0) is a colorless to pale yellow liquid. It has a molecular weight of approximately 142.2 g/mol and a boiling point of 132°C. It is slightly soluble in water but miscible with most organic solvents. Osthenol is relatively chemically stable but can react with strong oxidizing agents. It exhibits moderate reactivity with alcohols and is used in organic synthesis and as a reagent.

Osthenol (CAS: 484-14-0) is typically synthesized via a condensation reaction of a suitable aldehyde and anisole in the presence of a strong acid catalyst such as concentrated sulfuric acid. The reaction yields a mixture of isomers, with the desired product being isolated by fractional distillation. The process is highly selective and provides good yields.

Osthenol (CAS: 484-14-0) is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of various drugs. It is also utilized in the production of certain polymers, sensors, and as an intermediate in the semiconductor industry for its unique chemical properties and reactivity.

When handling Osthenol (CAS: 484-14-0), safety goggles, gloves, and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn. The substance should be handled in a well-ventilated area or a fume hood to minimize inhalation risk. Spills should be handled with caution, using appropriate containment and neutralization methods.
