4-ACETOXYMETHYLBENZOIC ACID

Description:

4-Acetyloxymethylbenzoic acid, with the CAS number 15561-46-3, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzoic acid moiety substituted with an acetyloxymethyl group at the para position. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water, reflecting its hydrophobic characteristics due to the aromatic ring. The presence of both an acetic acid functional group and a carboxylic acid group contributes to its potential reactivity, particularly in esterification and acylation reactions. 4-Acetyloxymethylbenzoic acid may be utilized in various applications, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Its chemical behavior can be influenced by factors such as pH and temperature, which may affect its ionization state and solubility. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.
