Benzeneacetic acid, α-hydroxy-4-methyl-, ethyl ester

Description:
Benzeneacetic acid, α-hydroxy-4-methyl-, ethyl ester, commonly referred to as ethyl 4-methyl-α-hydroxybenzeneacetate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and aromatic structure. It features a benzene ring substituted with a methyl group and an α-hydroxy group adjacent to the carboxylic acid moiety, which is esterified with an ethyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor. 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 hydroxyl group contributes to its potential reactivity, allowing for various chemical transformations. Benzeneacetic acid derivatives are often studied for their applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with many organic compounds, it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
