Description:3-Aminomethylbenzoic acid, also known as 3-(Aminomethyl)benzoic acid, is an aromatic amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of both an amino group and a carboxylic acid group attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring substituted with an amino group (-NH2) at the meta position relative to the carboxylic acid (-COOH) group. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water, reflecting its polar functional groups. It exhibits properties typical of both amino acids and aromatic compounds, including the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding and form salts. 3-Aminomethylbenzoic acid is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Its biological activity may also be of interest in medicinal chemistry, particularly in the development of compounds with potential therapeutic applications. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.
