4-(Benzoyloxy)benzoic acid

Description:

4-(Benzoyloxy)benzoic acid, also known as benzyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzoic acid moiety and a benzoyloxy group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water. It exhibits properties typical of carboxylic acids, including the ability to form hydrogen bonds, which can influence its reactivity and interactions in various chemical environments. The presence of the benzoyloxy group enhances its lipophilicity, making it useful in applications such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, where it may serve as a preservative or stabilizing agent. Additionally, 4-(Benzoyloxy)benzoic acid can undergo various chemical reactions, including esterification and acylation, which are valuable in synthetic organic chemistry. Its safety profile should be considered in handling, as with many organic compounds, and it is advisable to consult material safety data sheets for specific handling and toxicity information.
