Benzyl alcohol Usage
Benzyl alcohol is used as a preservative for ointment, desiccant for fiber, nylon yarn and plastic film, stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride, photographic developer, cellulose acetate, ink, paint, paint, epoxy paint, dye, cheese Solvents for protein, shellac and gelatin are used as intermediates for the preparation of benzyl esters or ethers.
Benzyl alcohol is also used to prepare spices and flavoring agents (mostly benzyl alcohol esters of fatty acids) as additives in soaps, perfumes, cosmetics and other products. In the perfume industry, the hydroxyl group of benzyl alcohol used in the fragrance industry is very active. It can react with benzene to form diphenylmethane, and acrylonitrile to form N-benzyl acrylamide (Ritter reaction), or can be Hydrohalic acid reacts to produce benzyl halide.
Because it has almost the same refractive index as quartz and wool fibers, it is used as a discriminating agent for quartz and wool fibers.
Benzyl halide and benzyl alcohol are both benzyl (benzyl) reagents, which are used to protect benzyl groups on carboxylic acid and alcohol hydroxyl groups. The benzyl protecting group is easily removed by hydrogenation. In addition, benzyl alcohol is also easily oxidized to benzoic acid by a variety of oxidants. If oxidized with nitric acid, aldehydes or acids can be formed with different concentrations and temperatures.
