CAS 27798-73-8

Benzenepropanoic acid,3,4-dimethoxy-, methyl ester

Description:

Benzenepropanoic acid, 3,4-dimethoxy-, methyl ester, also known by its CAS number 27798-73-8, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and ester functional group. This compound features a benzene ring substituted with two methoxy groups at the 3 and 4 positions, which contribute to its chemical properties and reactivity. The presence of the methyl ester group indicates that it is a derivative of a carboxylic acid, which can influence its solubility and volatility. Typically, compounds like this exhibit moderate polarity due to the methoxy groups, allowing for potential interactions with polar solvents. The methoxy substituents can also affect the compound's electronic properties, potentially enhancing its reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Additionally, such compounds may have applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as intermediates in organic synthesis. However, specific physical properties such as melting point, boiling point, and solubility would need to be referenced from experimental data or literature for precise applications and handling guidelines.
