Benzoic acid, 4-hydroxy-2-methoxy-, methyl ester

Description:

Benzoic acid, 4-hydroxy-2-methoxy-, methyl ester, commonly known as methyl 4-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It features a methoxy group (-OCH3) and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a benzene ring, which contributes to its chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid with a pleasant aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. Methyl 4-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzoate is often used in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, as well as in the formulation of fragrances and flavoring agents. Its antioxidant properties make it of interest in food preservation and cosmetic applications. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activities, including antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, making it a subject of research in medicinal chemistry. Proper handling and safety measures should be observed, as with all chemical substances.
