2-Phenylethyl Alcohol from TCI (product code P0084), also known as phenethyl alcohol, is an aromatic alcohol in which a hydroxyl group is joined to a benzene ring through a two-carbon chain. It is well known for its rose-like aroma and occurs naturally in the essential oils of many flowers. In the laboratory it serves three main purposes. It is a building block for organic synthesis, an analytical standard for aroma compound analysis, and an additive in selective microbiological media. Its simple, well-defined structure makes it a dependable reagent for both research and routine analytical work.
Chemists choose this material because it has two useful functional groups in one molecule: an aromatic ring and a primary alcohol group. This lets it be converted readily into esters, ethers, aldehydes, or halides, which makes it a flexible starting point for synthetic routes. 2-Phenylethyl alcohol also has selective antimicrobial properties. At certain concentrations it inhibits the growth of Gram-negative bacteria while still allowing Gram-positive bacteria to grow. Because it is a liquid, it is easy to measure out by volume, and its consistent purity makes it suitable for use as a chromatographic standard.
In Indonesia, this material is relevant to food technology, pharmaceutical, natural product chemistry, and clinical microbiology laboratories. Researchers who study essential oils from aromatic plants such as rose and kenanga can use it as a reference compound to identify and quantify aroma components in their samples. University research groups, quality control laboratories, and microbiology units working with selective culture media will also find it useful in their everyday analytical, synthetic, and teaching work.
