Description:4-(Tert-butoxy)benzoic acid, with the CAS number 13205-47-5, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzoic acid moiety substituted with a tert-butoxy group at the para position. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic tert-butoxy group. The tert-butoxy group enhances the compound's lipophilicity, which can influence its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. As a benzoic acid derivative, it possesses acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. Its structural features make it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Additionally, the compound may exhibit specific thermal and spectral properties, which can be analyzed using techniques such as NMR and IR spectroscopy for characterization and quality control purposes.
