There is a study being done to try to extract the compound for the potential use as an antioxidants in an industrial scale for Algerian Thymus munbyanus. | | Definition | ChEBI: P-Cymen-8-ol is an alkylbenzene. | | Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 20 ppm: fruity, cherry, sweet, hay-like with cereal and bread-like nuances. | | General Description | Clear colorless to pale yellow liquid with an herbaceous celery-like odor. | | Air & Water Reactions | Slightly soluble in water. | | Reactivity Profile | 2-(4-Methylphenyl)propan-2-ol is an alcohol. Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert them to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides. 2-(4-Methylphenyl)propan-2-ol is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. | | Fire Hazard | 2-(4-Methylphenyl)propan-2-ol is combustible. |
