3-Phenoxybenzyl alcohol is a chemical compound from the group of benzyl alcohols .

Extraction and presentation

To produce 3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol, 3-phenoxytoluene is allowed to react with dibromodimethylhydantoin (DBDMH) in a non-polar solvent. The intermediate product is then hydrolyzed.

use

3-Phenoxybenzyl bromide is used for the synthesis of pyrethroids , such as. B. Permethrin is required. 3-Phenoxybenzyl alcohol is produced again when it decomposes.
