CAS 14062-19-2: Benzeneacetic acid, 4-methyl-, ethyl ester

Description: Benzeneacetic acid, 4-methyl-, ethyl ester, also known as ethyl 4-methylbenzeneacetate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from the reaction of 4-methylbenzeneacetic acid and ethanol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. It has a moderate boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents, while exhibiting limited solubility in water. The presence of the methyl group on the aromatic ring influences its chemical reactivity and physical properties, contributing to its stability and relatively low reactivity under standard conditions. Benzeneacetic acid, 4-methyl-, ethyl ester is often utilized in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, as well as in the production of perfumes and flavoring agents. Safety data indicates that, like many esters, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
