CAS 103261-68-3: Benzoic acid, 5-cyano-2-methyl-, methyl ester
Description:Benzoic acid, 5-cyano-2-methyl-, methyl ester, with the CAS number 103261-68-3, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from benzoic acid and methanol. This compound features a cyano group (-CN) and a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the benzene ring, contributing to its unique chemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. The presence of the cyano group enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Benzoic acid derivatives often exhibit antimicrobial properties, and this compound may also demonstrate solubility in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. Its molecular structure allows for potential interactions with biological systems, which can be explored in research contexts. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
