4-Aminobenzyl alcohol is an important fine chemical and pharmaceutical intermediate with both amino and hydroxymethyl active functional groups on benzene ring. It can carry out diversified chemical reactions including acylation, alkylation, diazotization and condensation, which makes it widely used in the synthesis of various bioactive compounds. In pharmaceutical industry, it is mainly applied to prepare anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, antibacterial agents and cardiovascular related pharmaceutical intermediates, and participates in the construction of many heterocyclic drug skeletons to improve drug molecular activity and biological utilization rate. In dye and pigment industry, it serves as a key raw material for synthesizing azo dyes and fluorescent dyes, effectively improving color fastness and coloring performance. It is also commonly used in organic synthesis research as a standard reaction substrate for exploring aromatic compound reaction rules. Besides, it can be used in the preparation of daily chemical additives and polymer material modifiers, and has good application prospects in laboratory chemical research and industrial fine chemical production fields.
