o-Cresol (ortho-cresol, 2-methylphenol) is an aromatic organic compound belonging to the cresol family, which consists of three isomeric forms: ortho-, meta-, and para-cresol. It is characterized by a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a methyl group (-CH2) attached to adjacent carbon atoms on a benzene ring. With the CAS registry number 95-48-7, it is a colorless to pale yellow crystalline solid or liquid (depending on temperature) with a distinct phenolic odor.
o-Cresol is a versatile intermediate in industrial chemistry, with key applications in:
Resin Production
Used as a precursor in synthesizing phenolic resins (e.g., Bakelite) and epoxy resins. These materials are critical in coatings, adhesives, and composites.
Agrochemicals
Serves as a building block for pesticides and herbicides. For example, it is used in the synthesis of selective herbicides and fungicides.
Pharmaceuticals
Employed in the production of disinfectants and as an intermediate for drugs (e.g., aspirin derivatives and antiseptics).
Dyes and Fragrances
Acts as a raw material for synthesizing dyes and fragrance compounds, particularly in coumarin derivatives.
Solvents and Preservatives
Utilized as a solvent in industrial processes and as a preservative in wood treatments and leather tanning.
