5. Safety Information of Phenethyl alcohol
Moderately toxic by ingestion and skin contact. A skin and eye irritant. Experimental teratogenic effects. Other experimental reproductive effects. Causes severe central nervous system injury to experimental animals. Mutation data reported. Combustible when exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.

6. Preparation of Phenethyl alcohol
Phenethyl alcohol can be made by a number of procedures; the Grignard reaction is used generally:
            C6H5Br + Mg → C6H5MgBr
      C6H5MgBr + CH2CH2O → C6H5CH2CH2OMgBr
      C6H5CH2CH2OMgBr + H+ → C6H5CH2CH2OH
However, the Friedel-Crafts reaction is also employed to manufacture this particular chemical.
     C6H6 + CH2CH2O (+ AlCl3) → C6H5CH2CH2OH (+AlCl3)

FIGURE 1 Manufacture of phenylethyl alcohol.

7. Use of Phenethyl alcohol
Phenethyl alcohol is much used in perfume formulation. It is used as an additive in cigarettes. It is also used as a preservative in soaps due to its stability in basic conditions. In biology it is of interest due to its antimicrobial properties.
