Description:4-(Methylthio)benzoic acid, with the CAS number 13205-48-6, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a methylthio group (-S-CH3) attached to the para position of a benzoic acid structure. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water is limited due to its hydrophobic aromatic nature. The methylthio group contributes to its unique chemical properties, including potential reactivity in nucleophilic substitution reactions and its role as a functional group in various organic syntheses. 4-(Methylthio)benzoic acid can be utilized in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds. Its acidity is attributed to the carboxylic acid functional group, which can donate protons in solution, making it a weak acid. Additionally, the compound may exhibit specific biological activities, although detailed studies would be necessary to elucidate its full range of properties and applications.
