CAS 20185-55-1: methyl 4-(propan-2-yl)benzoate

Description:Methyl 4-(propan-2-yl)benzoate, also known as isobutyl p-toluate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It is derived from the reaction of p-toluic acid and methanol, resulting in a structure that features a methyl ester group attached to a para-substituted aromatic ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor, making it useful in the fragrance and flavoring industries. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. Methyl 4-(propan-2-yl)benzoate is stable under normal conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. Its applications extend beyond fragrances, as it can also serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes and should be used in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhalation of vapors.
