2-methoxy-3-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

2-Methoxy-3-methylbenzoic acid, with the CAS number 26507-91-5, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a methoxy group and a methyl group on a benzoic acid framework. This compound typically exhibits a white to off-white crystalline solid appearance. 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 carboxylic acid functional group imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. Its methoxy and methyl substituents can influence its reactivity and polarity, making it useful in organic synthesis and potentially in pharmaceutical applications. Additionally, the compound may exhibit specific biological activities, although detailed studies would be necessary to elucidate its full profile. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.
