Benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-6-methoxy-, methyl ester

Description:

Benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-6-methoxy-, methyl ester, commonly known as methyl 2-hydroxy-6-methoxybenzoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from benzoic acid. This compound features a methoxy group (-OCH3) and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the benzene ring, which contribute to its chemical reactivity and solubility properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its hydrogen bonding capabilities, making it more soluble in polar solvents compared to non-polar solvents. This compound is often used in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, as well as in the fragrance and flavor industry due to its pleasant aromatic properties. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, including antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, making it of interest in various research fields. Proper handling and storage are essential, as with many organic compounds, to ensure safety and stability.
