DESCRIPTION

Benezeneethanol is the supplied spelling used in this product text, while the standard registry spelling is Benzeneethanol.

Benezeneethanol is a primary alcohol containing a phenyl group attached to the second carbon of an ethanol chain.
Benezeneethanol contains one aromatic benzene ring, two methylene groups, and one terminal hydroxyl group.
Benezeneethanol differs from benzyl alcohol because its hydroxyl-bearing carbon is separated from the aromatic ring by an additional methylene group.

Benezeneethanol normally appears as a colorless liquid with a characteristic mild floral odor.
Benezeneethanol is described in flavor specifications as having a warm, rose-like, honey-like odor.
Benezeneethanol can develop discoloration or odor changes after prolonged exposure to air, excessive heat, or reactive contaminants.
