3-Phenyl-2-methylbenzyl alcohol

The catalyst is inactive for the hydrogenation of the (isolated) benzene nucleus and so may bo used for the hydrogenation of aromatic compounds containing aldehyde, keto, carbalkoxy or amide groups to the corresponding alcohols, amines, etc., e.g., ethyl benzoate to benzyl alcohol methyl p-toluate to p-methylbenzyl alcohol ethyl cinnamate to 3 phenyl 1-propanol. 

Methylbenzyl alcohol [98-85-1] (1-phenyl-ethanol, 1-phenylethyl alcohol, phenyl-methylcarbinol) is an almost colorless, neutral liquid that has limited miscibility with water and a weak, bitter, almond-like odor. It has a high solvency for alcohol-soluble cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate, and cellulose acetobutyrate for many natural and synthetic resins and for fats and oils. In contrast to benzyl alcohol, it is miscible with white spirit.

The nature of the chiral derivatization reagent is critical in achieving optimum resolution of the diastereomers, and for simple carboxylic add reagents containing a phenyl or other 7t-donating group close to the chiral centre are recommended to improve the resolution. This effect was particularly well demonstrated by Kaneda [59], who showed that the S(+)-2-butanol (20) or R(—)-2-octanol (21) esters of 2-methylbutyric add were unresolved by gas chromatography but the esters with R- -methylbenzyl alcohol (19) were readily separated. (See Section 4.2.2 for the numbered structures).
