β-Methylphenethyl alcohol has a faint, aromatic odor reminiscent
of hyacinth. May be prepared by reduction of the corresponding
aldehyde with zinc and acetic acid and subsequent saponification
of the sodium salt; two optically active isomers (d- and l-) are
known.

2-Phenyl-1-propanol was used to study the synergism between enzyme catalysis and microwave irradiation.
ChEBI: 2-Phenyl-1-propanol is a member of benzenes.
2-Phenyl-1-propanol is made by the catalytic hydrogenation
of 2-phenylpropanal. It is used as a component of
fragrances and as a food flavoring agent.
