Description:
Benzoic acid, 2-formyl-3-hydroxy-, methyl ester, with the CAS number 131524-43-1, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from benzoic acid. This compound features a benzoic acid moiety with a formyl group (-CHO) and a hydroxyl group (-OH) positioned at the 2 and 3 positions, respectively, on the aromatic ring. The methyl ester indicates that the carboxylic acid part of benzoic acid is esterified with methanol. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents. It may exhibit properties such as antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, making it of interest in various applications, including pharmaceuticals and food preservation. The presence of the hydroxyl and formyl groups can also contribute to its reactivity, allowing for potential participation in further chemical reactions, such as condensation or esterification. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted for handling and usage guidelines.
