Benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester

Description:
Benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester, commonly known as tert-butyl 2-hydroxybenzoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from benzoic acid and tert-butyl alcohol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic tert-butyl group. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its potential as a phenolic antioxidant, making it useful in various applications, including as a preservative in food and cosmetics. Its chemical structure allows for hydrogen bonding, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other substances. Additionally, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use in laboratory or industrial settings.
