3-Methoxymandelic acid

Description:
3-Methoxymandelic acid, with the CAS number 21150-12-9, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of both a methoxy group and a carboxylic acid functional group. It is a derivative of mandelic acid, where a methoxy group is substituted at the meta position relative to the hydroxyl group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to its polar functional groups. The presence of the methoxy group enhances its lipophilicity compared to other mandelic acid derivatives. 3-Methoxymandelic acid is of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and biochemistry, due to its potential biological activities and applications in drug synthesis. Its structural features may influence its reactivity and interactions with biological systems, making it a subject of study in medicinal chemistry. As with many organic compounds, proper handling and storage are essential to maintain its stability and efficacy.
