Chemical Properties: Benzhydrol is also known as Diphenylmethanol, Diphenyl carbinol, 1,1-diphenylmethanol, alpha-phenyl-phenylmethanol, hydroxy-diphenyl methane. White to light beige crystalline solid at room temperature, easily soluble in ethanol, ether, chloroform and carbon disulfide, almost insoluble in cold crude gasoline, the solubility in water at 20°C is only 0.5 g/L. Low toxicity, avoid contact with skin and eyes, lack of relevant toxicity data, can refer to methanol toxicity. Open flames, high temperatures, and strong oxidants can catch fire and burn, releasing toxic gases. Mainly used in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical industry intermediates.
