|  |  | 2-Benzyloxyethanol Usage And Synthesis | 
 | Description | Benzyl-PEG2-alcohol is a PEG linker with an acid labile, benzyl protecting group and a reactive primary alcohol. The primary alcohol can react and further derivatize the compound. The hydrophilic PEG linker increases the water solubility of the compound in aqueous media. |  | Chemical Properties | Ethylene glycol monobenzyl ether is a Colorless to light yellow liquid which will dissolve a large number of organic substances among which are oils, fats, greases, some vinyl resins, dewaxed damar, rosin, ester gum, etc. It is used principally as a high boiling solvent in lacquers, inks, and textile dyeing. |  | Uses | 2-(Benzyloxy)ethanol has been used in: 
 9-(2-hydroxyethyl)-linked synthesis of 2,6-diaminopurinessynthesis of benzyloxy ethyl methacrylate monomer by esterification with methacryloyl chloridea base-free iridium-catalyzed direct alkylation of active methylene compounds with alcohols
 |  | Uses | 2-Benzyloxyethanol is used in a base-free iridium-catalyzed direct alkylation of active methylene compounds with alcohols. |  | Synthesis Reference(s) | Tetrahedron Letters, 31, p. 389, 1990 DOI: 10.1016/S0040-4039(00)94562-3 |  | Hazard | Toxic by ingestion. |
