3-(carboxymethyl)benzoic acid

Description:
3-(Carboxymethyl)benzoic acid, also known as m-carboxymethylbenzoic acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of both a carboxylic acid group and a carboxymethyl group attached to a benzene ring. This compound features a benzene ring with a carboxymethyl group (-CH2COOH) positioned at the meta position relative to the carboxylic acid group (-COOH). It is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in water due to the presence of polar functional groups. The compound exhibits acidic properties, allowing it to donate protons in solution, which is characteristic of carboxylic acids. It can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation, making it useful in organic synthesis and as a building block in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, its structural features may impart specific biological activities, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and biochemistry.
