Description:
Benzoic acid, 4-(1-oxopropyl)-, methyl ester, with the CAS number 17745-40-3, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It features a benzoic acid moiety, which is a carboxylic acid derivative, and a propanoyl group attached to the para position of the benzene ring. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the ester group contributes to its reactivity, making it susceptible to hydrolysis under acidic or basic conditions. Benzoic acid derivatives are often used in various applications, including as preservatives, flavoring agents, and in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
