[1,1'-Biphenyl]-2-carboxylic acid, 4-methyl-

Description:
[1,1'-Biphenyl]-2-carboxylic acid, 4-methyl-, also known as 4-methyl-2-biphenylcarboxylic acid, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure with a carboxylic acid group and a methyl substituent. This compound features a biphenyl backbone, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond, enhancing its stability and influencing its chemical reactivity. The presence of the carboxylic acid group (-COOH) imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. The methyl group at the para position relative to the carboxylic acid affects the compound's steric and electronic properties, potentially influencing its solubility and reactivity. Typically, compounds of this nature are utilized in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and as intermediates in the production of dyes and agrochemicals. Additionally, the compound's physical properties, such as melting point and solubility, can vary based on the specific conditions and purity of the sample.
