2-Methoxy-3,5-dimethylbenzoic acid

Description:
2-Methoxy-3,5-dimethylbenzoic acid, with the CAS number 21553-47-9, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a methoxy group and two methyl substituents on a benzoic acid framework. This compound features a methoxy (-OCH₃) group at the ortho position and two methyl (-CH₃) groups at the meta positions relative to the carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional group. The presence of these substituents influences its physical and chemical properties, such as solubility, boiling point, and acidity. Typically, compounds of this nature exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents and may have limited solubility in water due to their hydrophobic methyl groups. The carboxylic acid functional group contributes to its acidic nature, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. Additionally, the compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its structural features suggest potential applications in organic synthesis and as a building block in the development of more complex molecules.
