CAS 26311-45-5
:4-Pentylbenzoic acid
Description:
4-Pentylbenzoic acid, with the CAS number 26311-45-5, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by a benzoic acid core substituted with a pentyl group at the para position. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is known for its relatively high melting point compared to many other benzoic acid derivatives. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic pentyl chain. 4-Pentylbenzoic acid is often studied for its potential applications in liquid crystal technology, as its structural features can influence the alignment and properties of liquid crystal phases. Additionally, it may exhibit interesting thermal and optical properties, making it a subject of interest in materials science. As with many organic acids, it can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation, which can be utilized in the synthesis of more complex organic compounds. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as with any chemical, to avoid potential hazards.
