3-(4-Methylphenyl)propionic acid

Description:

3-(4-Methylphenyl)propionic acid, also known as p-tolylpropionic acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by its propionic acid backbone substituted with a para-methylphenyl group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water. Its molecular structure features a propionic acid functional group (-COOH) that imparts acidic properties, making it capable of participating in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. The presence of the para-methylphenyl group contributes to its hydrophobic character and can influence its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. This compound is of interest in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, its potential applications in research and industry highlight the importance of understanding its chemical behavior and properties. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
