CAS 23786-13-2: Benzeneacetic acid, 4-methyl-, methyl ester

Description: Benzeneacetic acid, 4-methyl-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 4-methylbenzeneacetate, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and ester functional group. It features a benzene ring substituted with a methyl group and an acetic acid moiety, which is esterified with methanol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, sweet odor, making it of interest in the fragrance and flavor industries. Its molecular structure contributes to its relatively low polarity, allowing it to be soluble in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. The compound is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Additionally, it exhibits moderate volatility and can be sensitive to heat and light, necessitating proper storage conditions to maintain stability. Safety data should be consulted to understand its potential hazards, including any toxicity or environmental impact associated with its use.
