Benzoic acid, 3-hydroxy-2-methoxy-, methyl ester

Description:
Benzoic acid, 3-hydroxy-2-methoxy-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 3-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from benzoic acid. It features a methoxy group (-OCH3) and a hydroxyl group (-OH) on the aromatic ring, which contribute to its chemical properties and reactivity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts some polar characteristics, which can influence its interactions in various chemical environments. Methyl 3-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzoate is often studied for its potential applications in pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and as a flavoring agent, owing to its pleasant aromatic properties. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and related fields.
