Phenylmethyl 3-hydroxypropanoate

Description:

Phenylmethyl 3-hydroxypropanoate, also known as benzyl 3-hydroxypropanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is formed from the reaction of phenylmethanol (benzyl alcohol) and 3-hydroxypropanoic acid. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, sweet aroma, making it of interest in the fragrance and flavor industries. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the hydroxy group contributes to its reactivity, allowing for potential participation in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and transesterification. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, which could be relevant in pharmacological contexts. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Overall, phenylmethyl 3-hydroxypropanoate is a versatile compound with applications in both industrial and research settings.
