| ALPHA-METHYLBENZYL ALCOHOL Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Colorless liquid | | Occurrence | Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature. | | Preparation | By hydrogenation or reduction of acetophenone; or from methyl magnesium chloride plus benzaldehyde by a Grignard-type reaction (Bedoukian, 1967). | | Metabolism | Styrallyl alcohol is converted in rabbits into hippuric acid and methylphenylcarbinyl glucuronide, both optical forms of the carbinol behaving similarly. A small proportion (1-2%) is excreted as mandelic acid (Wjlliams, 1959). | | Purification Methods | Purify the alcohol via its hydrogen phthalate. [See Houssa & Kenyon J Chem Soc 2260 1930.] Shake it with a solution of ferrous sulfate, and th |
