bis[(4-methylphenyl)methyl] oxalate

Description:
Bis[(4-methylphenyl)methyl] oxalate, with the CAS number 18241-31-1, is an organic compound characterized by its oxalate functional group and two 4-methylphenylmethyl substituents. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water. Its molecular structure features a central oxalate moiety (derived from oxalic acid) bonded to two 4-methylphenylmethyl groups, which contribute to its hydrophobic characteristics. The presence of the methyl groups on the phenyl rings enhances its steric bulk and may influence its reactivity and interactions with other chemical species. Bis[(4-methylphenyl)methyl] oxalate can be utilized in various applications, including as a reagent in organic synthesis and potentially in materials science due to its unique structural properties. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with many organic compounds, it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
