2-methyl-4-phenylbutanoic acid

Description:
2-Methyl-4-phenylbutanoic acid, with the CAS number 1949-41-3, is an organic compound characterized by its carboxylic acid functional group, which imparts acidic properties. Structurally, it features a butanoic acid backbone with a methyl group at the second carbon and a phenyl group at the fourth carbon, contributing to its unique properties. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, though its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the phenyl group. It exhibits moderate melting and boiling points, typical of carboxylic acids. The presence of both aliphatic and aromatic components in its structure allows for various chemical reactivity, including esterification and amidation. 2-Methyl-4-phenylbutanoic acid may also exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and biochemical research. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
