Benzoic acid, 2-(4-methylphenoxy)-

Description:
Benzoic acid, 2-(4-methylphenoxy)-, also known by its CAS number 21905-69-1, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a benzoic acid moiety and a 4-methylphenoxy group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and 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 methyl group on the phenoxy ring can influence its chemical reactivity and physical properties, such as melting point and boiling point. Benzoic acid derivatives are known for their applications in various fields, including pharmaceuticals, food preservation, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. The compound may exhibit antimicrobial properties, making it useful in certain preservative applications. As with many organic acids, it can participate in acid-base reactions and may form salts or esters under appropriate conditions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential hazards associated with this substance.
