Methyl 3-formyl-4-methoxybenzoate

Description:
Methyl 3-formyl-4-methoxybenzoate, with the CAS number 145742-55-8, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a methoxy group and an aldehyde functional group. This compound typically appears as a pale yellow to light brown liquid or solid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and dichloromethane, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic nature. The presence of the methoxy group enhances its electron-donating properties, influencing its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. Methyl 3-formyl-4-methoxybenzoate can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Its reactivity is primarily attributed to the aldehyde group, which can undergo typical reactions such as condensation and oxidation. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with many organic compounds, it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
