2-Methyl-ε-oxobenzenehexanoic acid

Description:
2-Methyl-ε-oxobenzenehexanoic acid, also known by its CAS number 107151-33-7, is an organic compound characterized by its unique structure that includes a benzene ring substituted with a methyl group and a hexanoic acid chain. This compound features a keto group adjacent to the carboxylic acid, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. The presence of both hydrophobic (the hexanoic chain) and hydrophilic (the carboxylic acid) functional groups allows for amphiphilic properties, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as a surfactant or in the formulation of pharmaceuticals. Its solubility characteristics can vary, often being soluble in organic solvents while having limited solubility in water. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
