4,6-dimethylisophthalic acid

Description:
4,6-Dimethylisophthalic acid is an aromatic dicarboxylic acid characterized by the presence of two carboxylic acid groups (-COOH) and two methyl groups (-CH3) attached to an isophthalic acid framework. Its molecular formula is C10H10O4, and it features a benzene ring with the carboxylic acid groups located at the 1,3-positions and the methyl groups at the 4 and 6 positions. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water. 4,6-Dimethylisophthalic acid is used in the synthesis of polyesters and other polymers, contributing to materials with enhanced thermal and mechanical properties. Additionally, it can serve as a building block in organic synthesis and may find applications in the production of dyes and pharmaceuticals. Its chemical reactivity is influenced by the presence of the carboxylic acid groups, allowing for various derivatization reactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
