2,3,5,6-Tetramethylbenzoic acid

Description:

2,3,5,6-Tetramethylbenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by a benzoic acid structure with four methyl groups attached to the benzene ring at the 2, 3, 5, and 6 positions. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is known for its relatively low solubility in water, but it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. The presence of multiple methyl groups contributes to its steric hindrance, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. It has applications in organic synthesis and as a building block in the production of various chemical compounds. Additionally, due to its structural features, it may exhibit unique properties such as altered melting and boiling points compared to simpler benzoic acids. Safety data indicates that, like many organic acids, it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation.

2,3,5,6-Tetramethylbenzoic acid (TMB) is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents and slightly soluble in water. It is used as a precursor for the manufacture of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other organic compounds. TMB has been shown to be an effective catalyst for the use of malonic acid as a substrate. The active site of TMB is acidic and it has been shown to catalyse the reaction between malonic acid and carbon tetrachloride with a dipole moment. TMB also interacts with functional groups such as methylene chloride, chloroform, methanol and benzene.
