General Manufacturing InformationBenzenemethanol, 2-hydroxy-: ACTIVE
Applications
Usesanesthetic (local), antiinflammatory
Uses2-Hydroxybenzyl Alcohol is a phenolic component of a part of a salix bark extract which maintains a minor anti-depressant effect. Phenolic analog with potential for anti-melanomic effect. Also It is an intermediate in the production of phenol formaldehyde res ins (may remain after condensation of the resin); sensitizer in phenol-formaldehyde resins; in loeal anesthetics.
General Description2-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol participates in the selective ring opening reaction of 4H-1,3,2-benzodioxasilines.
