| Description | 4-Methylbenzyl alcohol, also known as alpha-hydroxy-p-xylene or 4-tolylcarbinol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzyl alcohols. These are organic compounds containing the phenylmethanol substructure. 4-Methylbenzyl alcohol exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 4-Methylbenzyl alcohol is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. 4-Methylbenzyl alcohol is found in Vitis vinifera. 4-Methylbenzyl alcohol was first documented in 1992 (PMID: 1518957). Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 4-Methylbenzyl alcohol (PMID: 22033096) (PMID: 33675814) (PMID: 32361489) (PMID: 31334728) (PMID: 31265274) (PMID: 31201469). |
