4-methyl-2-phenylpentanoic acid

Description:

4-Methyl-2-phenylpentanoic acid, with the CAS number 14320-58-2, is an organic compound characterized by its carboxylic acid functional group, which imparts acidic properties. This compound features a branched alkyl chain, specifically a pentanoic acid backbone, with a methyl group and a phenyl group attached to the second and fourth carbon atoms, respectively. The presence of the phenyl group contributes to its aromatic characteristics, while the methyl group influences its steric properties. Typically, this substance is a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, but its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the phenyl group. 4-Methyl-2-phenylpentanoic acid may exhibit moderate to strong acidity, making it relevant in various chemical reactions, including esterification and as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. Its unique structure allows for potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science, although specific applications may vary based on further research and development.
