Description

2-Methylresorcinol (CAS 608-25-3) is a versatile organic compound also known as 2,6-Dihydroxytoluene. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with high solubility in water and methanol . This resorcinol derivative functions as a crucial intermediate in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers .

In the cosmetics industry, formulators rely on 2-Methylresorcinol for oxidative and non-oxidative hair dye formulations. It helps produce vibrant, long-lasting colors . Researchers also use it to synthesize aromatic benziporphyrins and tripyrrane analogs . Whether you are developing a new hair color or scaling up a chemical intermediate, this compound provides consistent reactivity and stability.

FAQ

The melting point typically ranges from 118°C to 122°C . This specification is crucial for verifying purity during incoming quality control.

Store it in a sealed, dry container in a cool, dark place . It is incompatible with acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, and oxidizing agents . Room temperature storage (below 15°C recommended) is generally acceptable .

2-Methylresorcinol is classified as toxic if swallowed and can cause skin/eye irritation . Wear protective gloves and eye protection. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for specific handling guidelines .

Primary applications include:

  • Cosmetics: Oxidative and non-oxidative hair dyes .

  • Chemical Synthesis: Intermediates for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals .
