Phenyl-2-Propanol is a chemical synthesized by reacting benzylmagnesium chloride with acetaldehyde in diethyl ether (or dibutyl ether), or by reacting phenylacetaldehyde (or PAL synthesized from styrene and peracetic acid in a nitrogen or argon atmosphere to avoid over oxidation to phenylacetic acid (PAA) ) with methylmagnesium iodide in diethyl ether (or dibutyl ether). Phenyl-2-Propanol is also known as P2Pol. Phenyl-2-Propanol can be oxidized to Phenyl-2-Propanone by using PCC, or by using Sodium Hypochlorite (pool shock, NaOCl), and glacial acetic acid. P2Pol can also be oxidized to P2P by using Sodium Chlorite (NaO2Cl), and acetic acid. Density 0.996 Boiling point 220 ºC Refractive index 1.5221 Flash point 85 ºC Colorless liquid.
