3-amino-5-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

3-Amino-5-methylbenzoic acid, also known as meta-amino-p-toluic acid, is an aromatic amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached to a benzene ring that also has a methyl group (-CH3) at the 5-position. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents, reflecting its polar functional groups. It exhibits properties typical of amino acids, including the ability to form zwitterions in solution, which can influence its reactivity and interactions. The presence of both amino and carboxylic acid groups allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as peptide bond formation and acid-base reactions. Additionally, 3-amino-5-methylbenzoic acid may have applications in pharmaceuticals, biochemistry, and as a building block in organic synthesis. Its CAS number, 2305-37-5, is a unique identifier that facilitates its identification in chemical databases and regulatory contexts.
