4-Methoxybenzoic acid

Description:

4-Methoxybenzoic acid, also known as p-methoxybenzoic acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a methoxy group (-OCH₃) attached to the para position of a benzoic acid structure. Its molecular formula is C₈H₈O₃, and it features a benzene ring with a carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional group and a methoxy substituent. This compound typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water. 4-Methoxybenzoic acid is utilized in various applications, including as a precursor in organic synthesis, in the production of pharmaceuticals, and as a reagent in chemical research. It exhibits properties typical of aromatic carboxylic acids, such as acidity, and can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and electrophilic aromatic substitution. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
