Description
Benzyl Alcohol is a colorless, transparent liquid that gives off a mildly aromatic smell and is pleasant. Its chemical formula is C7H8O. As an important organic solvent and chemical raw material, it has been widely used in many fields. Benzyl Alcohol is particularly common in the pharmaceutical, fragrance and cosmetic industries, where it is commonly used as a solvent and preservative to ensure product stability and extend shelf life. Benzyl Alcohol plays a vital role in the production of products such as synthetic fragrances, medicines and detergents. Not only is it able to dissolve various ingredients efficiently, but it also imparts a unique aroma to the final product. In addition, Benzyl Alcohol can be used in the preparation of other chemicals, such as benzoic acid and Benzyl Alcohol ester, which also have a wide range of industrial and scientific applications. In industrial production, Benzyl Alcohol is widely used as a cleaning agent and diluent due to its good solubility and low toxicity. It can effectively remove various stains and impurities, while being relatively safe for the environment and the human body. Because of its unique chemical properties, Benzyl Alcohol is indispensable in many fine chemical products and has become an integral part of modern industrial production.

Benzyl alcohol Use and Manufacturing
1. Benzyl alcohol is naturally occurring in orange blossom, ylang ylang, jasmine, gardenia, acacia, lilac, hyacinth, industrial benzyl chloride or benzaldehyde as raw materials. In 12% of the soda solution by adding benzyl chloride, heated to 93 ° C stirring reaction 5h, and then heated to 101 ~ 103 ° C to continue the reaction 10h. After the reaction, cooling to room temperature, adding salt to saturation, standing stratification, take the upper layer of crude oil distillation pressure, and refined products. The yield was 70% ~ 72%. In the presence of sodium hydroxide formaldehyde and benzaldehyde, the disproportionation reaction of benzyl alcohol. 2 to benzyl chloride as raw material, in the base of the catalytic hydrolysis derived hydrolysis. 3. Mix benzyl chloride, sodium carbonate and water in a certain proportion, stir quickly, emulsify the oil layer, raise the temperature to 90 ° C while stirring. When the generated carbon dioxide gas no longer escapes, continue heating to 101 ~ 103 ° C to complete the hydrolysis reaction: cooling after the end of the reaction, standing layered. Take the oil layer washed several times, into the water layer, and then atmospheric distillation, the first steamed water, benzyl chloride and other low boiling, as the initial fraction, and then collected 203 ~ 206 ℃ as the main distillate, is finished. BU, OR, 18; FC, BU, OR, 40; 5. Method: In a reaction flask equipped with a stirrer, a reflux condenser and a thermometer, 250 mL of water, 56 g of sodium carbonate, (2) (63.3 g, 0.5 mol) was added thereto, followed by vigorous stirring to emulsify benzyl chloride. Was added to the micro boil (about 95 & lt; 0 & gt; C). Carbon dioxide is produced in the reaction. Stop the escape of carbon dioxide bubbles that the reaction is completed, and then stirring reaction 0.5h. Cooling, separation of the organic layer, washed with water, crude benzyl alcohol. Fractionation, collecting 204 ~ 205 ° C distillate, in benzyl alcohol ① (1) in a yield of 74%.
Antimicrobial, antipruritic Used as raw materials and fixatives for perfumes, pharmaceutical raw materials and anesthetics, preservatives, dyeing auxiliaries, solvents for paints and inks, and used to make ballpoint pen oil; used as chromatographic analysis reagents, and also used in organic synthesis; used to prepare flowers Fragrance oil and medicine, etc., also used as a solvent and fixative for spices
