2,3,4-Trimethylbenzoic acid

Description:
2,3,4-Trimethylbenzoic acid, with the CAS number 1076-47-7, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by a benzene ring substituted with three methyl groups at the 2, 3, and 4 positions, along with a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) at the 1-position. This compound typically appears as a white to light yellow crystalline solid and is known for its relatively low solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents. It has a melting point that generally falls within a moderate range, indicative of its crystalline nature. The presence of multiple methyl groups contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics and can influence its reactivity and interactions with other chemical species. 2,3,4-Trimethylbenzoic acid is utilized in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of certain polymers and resins. Its chemical behavior is influenced by the steric effects of the methyl groups, which can affect the acid's strength and reactivity in different chemical environments.
