1-(Phenylmethyl) butanedioate

Description:

1-(Phenylmethyl)butanedioate, also known as benzyl succinate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional groups derived from succinic acid and benzyl alcohol. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, fruity odor. This compound is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic phenyl group. The presence of both the butanedioate backbone and the phenylmethyl group contributes to its unique chemical properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a flavoring agent and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Additionally, it may exhibit low toxicity, but safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines. Its molecular structure allows for potential interactions in biological systems, which can be of interest in medicinal chemistry and pharmacology. Overall, 1-(Phenylmethyl)butanedioate serves as an important compound in both industrial and research contexts.
