4-(4-Acetyl-2-methoxyphenoxy)butanoic acid

Description:

4-(4-Acetyl-2-methoxyphenoxy)butanoic acid, with the CAS number 174884-22-1, is an organic compound characterized by its complex structure that includes a butanoic acid moiety linked to a phenoxy group. This substance features an acetyl group and a methoxy group on the aromatic ring, contributing to its chemical reactivity and potential biological activity. It is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, which is common for compounds with aromatic structures. The presence of both hydrophilic (carboxylic acid) and hydrophobic (aromatic and aliphatic) components suggests that it may exhibit amphiphilic properties, influencing its interactions in biological systems. This compound may be of interest in pharmaceutical research due to its potential applications in drug development, particularly in areas related to anti-inflammatory or analgesic activities. However, specific biological activities and safety profiles would require further investigation through empirical studies.
