Benzyl alcohol, 99%, 100ml CAS Number: 100-51-6 Molecular Formula: C7H8O Molecular Weight: 108.14 IUPAC Name: Benzyl alcohol Structure: Benzyl alcohol is an aromatic alcohol with the formula C6H5CH2OH. The benzyl group is often abbreviated "Bn" (not to be confused with "Bz" which is used for benzoyl), thus benzyl alcohol is denoted as BnOH. Benzyl alcohol is a colorless liquid with a mild pleasant aromatic odor. It is a useful solvent due to its polarity, low toxicity, and low vapor pressure. Benzyl alcohol is partially soluble in water (4 g/100 mL) and completely miscible in alcohols and diethyl ether. Benzyl alcohol is used as a general solvent for inks, paints, lacquers and epoxy resin coatings. It is also a precursor to a variety of esters, used in the soap, perfume and flavor industries. It is often added to intravenous medication solutions as a preservative due to its bacteriostatic and antipruritic properties. It is also used as a photographic developer.
