Benzoic acid, 2,5-dimethoxy-, methyl ester

Description:
Benzoic acid, 2,5-dimethoxy-, methyl ester, with the CAS number 2150-40-5, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from benzoic acid. This compound features two methoxy groups (-OCH3) attached to the benzene ring at the 2 and 5 positions, which influence its chemical reactivity and solubility. As an ester, it is generally less acidic than its parent carboxylic acid, exhibiting moderate polarity due to the presence of the methoxy groups. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. Benzoic acid derivatives, including this methyl ester, are often studied for their potential applications in pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. Additionally, the methoxy substituents can enhance the compound's biological activity and influence its interaction with various biological systems. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances.
