CAS 2463-16-3: Benzoic acid, 3-cyano-, ethyl ester
Description:Benzoic acid, 3-cyano-, ethyl ester, also known by its CAS number 2463-16-3, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzoic acid moiety with a cyano group at the meta position and an ethyl ester functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the cyano group introduces notable reactivity, allowing for potential applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, benzoic acid derivatives often exhibit antimicrobial properties, making them useful in food preservation and other applications. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled. Proper storage and handling protocols are essential to ensure safety in laboratory and industrial settings.
