:4-Propylbenzoic acid
Description:
4-Propylbenzoic acid, also known as p-propylbenzoic acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by a propyl group attached to the para position of a benzoic acid structure. Its molecular formula is C11H14O2, and it features a benzene ring with a carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional group and a propyl side chain. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is sparingly soluble in water, but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. 4-Propylbenzoic acid exhibits typical acid properties, including the ability to donate protons in solution, making it a weak acid. It is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of certain polymers and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, it may have applications in the food industry as a preservative. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
