Acetic acid, (4-hydroxyphenoxy)-, ethyl ester

Description:

Acetic acid, (4-hydroxyphenoxy)-, ethyl ester, also known by its CAS number 20872-28-0, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from acetic acid and 4-hydroxyphenol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic components in its structure. The compound is often used in various applications, including as a reagent in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its chemical properties include the ability to undergo hydrolysis, transesterification, and other reactions typical of esters. Additionally, it may exhibit antioxidant properties due to the presence of the phenolic group. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper safety measures are taken during use.
