Benzhydrol, also known as Diphenylcarbinol or Diphenylmethanol (CAS: 91-01-0) is mainly used in organic synthesis, it is widely used as intermediates in pharmaceuticals (including antihistamines), agrochemicals, perfumes and other organic compounds. It is used as a fixative in the perfume industry. It is involved in polymerization reaction as a terminating group. Benzhydrol is used as precursor to prepare modafinil, benztropine and diphehydramine. Benzhydrol may be prepared by a Grignard reaction between phenylmagnesium bromide and benzaldehyde. An alternative method involves reducing benzophenone with sodium borohydride or with zinc dust or with sodium amalgam and water. Benzhydrol has uses in perfume and pharmaceutical manufacture. In perfumery, Benzhydrol is used as a fixative. In pharmaceutical manufacture it is used in the synthesis of antihistamines / antiallergenic agents and antihypertensive agents. It is used in the synthesis of Modafinil and the benzhydryl group is present in the structure of many histamine H1 antagonists like diphenylhydramine. Benzhydrol is also used in the production of agrochemicals as well as other organic compounds and as a terminating group in polymerizations. Benzhydrol is an irritant to the eyes, skin and respiratory system.
