Special purification procedures are required to obtain a pure Benzyl carbinol that is free of chlorine and suitable for use in perfumery.
2) Hydrogenation of styrene oxide:
Excellent yields of Benzyl carbinol are obtainedwhen styrene oxide is hydrogenated at low temperature, using Raney nickel as a catalyst and a small amount of sodium hydroxide.
Storage of Benzyl carbinol:
Benzyl carbinol is stable in bulk, but is volatile and sensitive to light and oxidizing agents.
Benzyl carbinol is reasonably stable in both acidic and alkaline solutions.
Aqueous solutions may be sterilized by autoclaving.
If stored in low-density polyethylene containers, Benzyl carbinol may be absorbed by the containers.
Losses to polypropylene containers have been reported to be insignificant over 12 weeks at 30°C.
The bulk material should be stored in a well-closed container, protected from light, in a cool, dry place.
Safety Profile of Benzyl carbinol:
Moderately toxic by ingestion and skin contact.
Benzyl carbinol a skin and eye irritant.
Experimental teratogenic effects.
Other experimental reproductive effects.
Causes severe central nervous system injury to experimental animals.
Combustible when exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidzing materials.
When heated to decomposition Benzyl carbinol emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes
Benzyl carbinol is generally regarded as a nontoxic and nonirritant material.
However, at the concentration used to preserve eye-drops (about 0.5% v/v) or above, eye irritation may occur.
Benzyl carbinol can be produced through various methods, including chemical synthesis and natural extraction from plants such as rose and jasmine.
The most common method involves the reduction of benzaldehyde with sodium borohydride in the presence of a catalyst.
The resulting Benzyl carbinol is then purified to obtain Benzyl carbinol.
