Benzoic acid,2-hydroxy-4-(1-methylethyl)-

Description:

Benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-4-(1-methylethyl)-, commonly known as 2-hydroxy-4-isopropylbenzoic acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a benzoic acid moiety with a hydroxyl group and an isopropyl group attached to the benzene ring. This compound typically exhibits a white crystalline solid form and is soluble in organic solvents while having limited solubility in water. Its molecular structure includes a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) and a hydroxyl group (-OH), which contribute to its acidic properties and potential for hydrogen bonding. The presence of the isopropyl group influences its steric properties and reactivity. Benzoic acid derivatives are often utilized in various applications, including as preservatives, in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, and in the production of dyes and fragrances. Additionally, the compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and research. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
