Description2-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol, also known as 2-(hydroxymethyl)phenol or saligenin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzyl alcohols. These are organic compounds containing the phenylmethanol substructure. 2-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 2-Hydroxybenzyl 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. Saligenin is found in Anthriscus sylvestris, Festuca rubra, Gardenia jasminoides, Populus laurifolia, Populus tremula, Salix alba, Salix caprea and Salix myrsinifolia. Saligenin was first documented in 2014 (PMID: 25010147). Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on 2-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol (PMID: 34151556) (PMID: 32706303).
