Benzoic acid, 4-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-

Description:

Benzoic acid, 4-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-, also known by its CAS number 103203-54-9, is an organic compound characterized by its benzoic acid structure modified with a 2-methoxyphenoxy group at the para position. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, while exhibiting limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic components. It possesses functional groups that can participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. The presence of the methoxy group enhances its lipophilicity, which may affect its biological activity and potential applications in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Additionally, benzoic acid derivatives are known for their antimicrobial properties, making this compound of interest in various fields, including medicine and materials science. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.

4-(2-Methoxyphenoxy)benzoic acid

CAS: 103203-54-9

4-(2-Methoxyphenoxy)benzoic acid is a white crystalline solid with a melting point of 50°C. It is soluble in water, ethanol, ether, and chloroform. 4-(2-Methoxyphenoxy)benzoic acid has been used as a starting material for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals such as carbamazepine (Tegretol). The compound has two methoxy groups on the phenyl ring that are susceptible to nucleophilic attack by strong bases. This reaction occurs at room temperature and can be reversed by heating the solution to 150°C. The compound also undergoes polycondensation reactions when heated in the presence of an oxidizing agent.
