Description:Benzoic acid, 5-formyl-2-methyl- (CAS 105650-34-8) is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a benzoic acid moiety with a formyl group and a methyl group at specific positions on the benzene ring. This compound typically exhibits a white crystalline solid form and is soluble in organic solvents, while showing limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. Additionally, the formyl group contributes to its reactivity, making it a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. The compound may also exhibit biological activity, which can be explored in pharmaceutical applications. Its structural features suggest potential uses in the development of agrochemicals, dyes, or as a building block in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
