Benzyl alcohol, also known as benzyl alcohol, has a molecular formula of C6H5CH2OH and a density of 1.045 g/mlat 25 C (lit.). It is the simplest fatty alcohol containing phenyl, which can be regarded as methylol-substituted benzene or phenyl-substituted methanol. It is a colorless transparent viscous liquid with weak aromatic smell. Sometimes, after being left for a long time, benzyl alcohol will have a slight smell of benzaldehyde bitter almond due to oxidation. It has polarity, low toxicity and low steam pressure, so it is used as alcohol solvent. Combustible. Slightly soluble in water (about 1g benzyl alcohol is soluble in 25ml water), miscible with organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, benzene and chloroform.
