4-Methoxyphenylacetic acid

Description:

4-Methoxyphenylacetic acid, with the CAS number 104-01-8, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a methoxy group (-OCH₃) attached to a phenyl ring, which is further connected to an acetic acid moiety. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water. It exhibits a melting point that is generally in the moderate range, indicative of its crystalline nature. The methoxy group contributes to its chemical reactivity and can influence its biological activity, making it of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and organic synthesis. 4-Methoxyphenylacetic acid can participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation, and may serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex organic compounds. Additionally, its derivatives may exhibit interesting pharmacological properties, making it a subject of research in medicinal chemistry.

(4-Methoxyphenyl)acetic acid

CAS: 104-01-8

4-Methoxybenzoic acid is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of phenylacetic acids. It is an organic acid with a carboxylic acid group and a hydroxyl group. 4-Methoxybenzoic acid is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds, such as 3-methoxyphenylacetic acid and dihydroconiferyl alcohol. 4-Methoxybenzoic acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells by inducing apoptosis. This effect was found to be increased when combined with tamoxifen (a drug used for the treatment of breast cancer). The mechanism of action is not clear but may involve hydrogen bond formation between 4-methoxybenzoic acid and tamoxifen, leading to increased uptake into cells.
