Benzoicacid, 2-methyl-4-(phenylmethoxy)-

Description:
Benzoic acid, 2-methyl-4-(phenylmethoxy)-, also known by its CAS number 17819-91-9, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a benzoic acid moiety substituted with a methyl group and a phenylmethoxy group. This compound typically exhibits a white to off-white crystalline appearance and 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 carboxylic acid functional group imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. Its phenylmethoxy substituent can enhance its lipophilicity, potentially influencing its biological activity and interactions with other molecules. This compound may be of interest in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, or as an intermediate in the production of other chemical entities. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling it, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.
