CAS 118-90-1: 2-Methylbenzoic acid

Description: 2-Methylbenzoic acid, also known as o-toluic acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by a methyl group attached to the second carbon of a benzoic acid structure. Its molecular formula is C8H8O2, and it features a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) that imparts acidic properties. This compound typically appears as a white crystalline solid with a melting point that varies depending on purity. It is slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. 2-Methylbenzoic acid is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other organic compounds. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the methyl group, which can affect the acidity and the overall chemical behavior of the molecule. Additionally, it can undergo typical reactions of carboxylic acids, such as esterification and decarboxylation, making it a versatile compound in organic synthesis. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
