methanol is an organic compound with the chemical formula C10H8BrOS and contains bromine, benzothiophene and carbinol groups in its molecule.
Regarding its properties, methanol is a white solid, soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide. It has a melting point of about 82-84°C and a boiling point of about 351-354°C. It is an oxidizing compound that can be thermally decomposed.
The main use of this compound is as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It can be used to synthesize various compounds with benzothiophene structure, such as drugs, pesticides and dyes. It can also be used in the research and development of organic optoelectronic materials.
There are many methods for preparing (a) methanol. A common method is obtained by the reaction of bromobenzo [B] thiophene and copper hydroxide in the presence of potassium carbonate.
Regarding safety information, (the methanol needs to take appropriate safety measures when operating). It may be irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract, so it is necessary to wear appropriate protective equipment, such as safety glasses, gloves and protective face masks. Avoid inhaling its vapor or dust and avoid direct skin contact. Keep well ventilated during use and storage. If exposed or inhaled, seek medical help immediately.
