The 1-(2-Methylphenyl)ethanol page records CAS Registry Number 7287-82-3 with formula C9H12O. PubChem returns CID 110953 for the same CAS and lists 1-(2-Methylphenyl)ethanol as its title. This identity set offers a structured reference for checking the named compound before submitting a structure-specific enquiry.
The page includes the verified SMILES CC1=CC=CC=C1C(C)O and InChIKey SDCBYRLJYGORNK-UHFFFAOYSA-N. PubChem identifies the same compound as 1-(2-methylphenyl)ethanol in IUPAC nomenclature. The CAS, formula, and structure values all point to the same CID. That agreement provides a careful basis for matching a requested structure against this individual entry.
The enquiry channel can receive the CAS number, a name, formula, or structural notation for a requested compound. Supplying several fields helps avoid a match based only on similar wording. This record is written to present verified identity information for 1-(2-Methylphenyl)ethanol; additional review can follow through the appropriate enquiry route. For the ortho-methylphenyl ethanol, specify the 1-(2-methylphenyl) arrangement in any structural comparison. The supplied SMILES places the methyl substituent adjacent to the ethanol-bearing ring carbon. CID 110953 provides the CAS-linked identity reference. Formula C9H12O is also shown. The page makes no claim beyond the verified identifiers shown.
