CAS 20300-59-8: 7-methoxycoumarin-3-carboxylic acid
Description:7-Methoxycoumarin-3-carboxylic acid is a chemical compound belonging to the coumarin family, characterized by its fused benzene and α-pyrone rings. This compound features a methoxy group (-OCH₃) at the 7-position and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) at the 3-position of the coumarin structure, which contributes to its solubility and reactivity. It typically appears as a crystalline solid and is known for its fluorescent properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a fluorescent probe in biochemical assays. The presence of the carboxylic acid group enhances its ability to form salts and esters, which can be advantageous in synthetic chemistry. Additionally, 7-methoxycoumarin-3-carboxylic acid has been studied for its potential biological activities, including antimicrobial and anticancer properties. Its unique structure allows for interactions with biological systems, making it a subject of interest in medicinal chemistry and drug development. As with many coumarin derivatives, it may also exhibit photochemical behavior under UV light.
