1-Pyrenol(CAS: 5315-79-7)

1-Pyrenol is an aromatic hydroxy derivative of pyrene with the chemical formula C16H10O. It is a yellow solid with a molecular weight of 218.25 g/mol, known for its fluorescence properties. The compound exhibits solubility in organic solvents and is commonly used in chemical research due to its reactivity and structural characteristics.

1-Pyrenol serves as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in developing fluorescent probes and drug delivery systems. It is also used in industrial applications for organic chemistry research, as a component in materials science, and in analytical chemistry for its ability to detect environmental pollutants. Its unique properties make it valuable in both academic and commercial settings.

1-Pyrenol is classified as a potential irritant and should be handled with care. While it is not highly toxic in small quantities, prolonged exposure may pose health risks. Safety precautions include wearing protective gloves, goggles, and ensuring proper ventilation. It is recommended to follow OSHA guidelines and avoid direct contact with skin or inhalation of vapors to ensure safe usage.

1-Pyrenol should be stored in a sealed, airtight container in a cool, dry place below 25°C. It is sensitive to light and moisture, so storage in a dark, humid-controlled environment is essential. Avoid exposure to air and incompatible materials. Keep away from heat sources and ensure proper labeling for safe handling and long-term stability.
