CAS 14963-97-4: 3-methoxybenzene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid
Description:3-Methoxybenzene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, also known as 3-methoxyphthalic acid, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a methoxy group and two carboxylic acid functional groups on a benzene ring. This compound features a methoxy (-OCH₃) substituent at the meta position relative to the dicarboxylic acid groups, which are located at the 1 and 2 positions of the benzene ring. The presence of these functional groups imparts both acidic and polar characteristics to the molecule, influencing its solubility and reactivity. Typically, dicarboxylic acids exhibit higher boiling points and melting points compared to their monocarboxylic counterparts due to increased hydrogen bonding. 3-Methoxybenzene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation, making it useful in organic synthesis and potentially in the production of polymers or pharmaceuticals. Its CAS number, 14963-97-4, allows for easy identification in chemical databases and regulatory contexts.
