:Acetic acid, (2-methylphenoxy)-, methyl ester
Description:
Acetic acid, (2-methylphenoxy)-, methyl ester, with the CAS number 2989-17-5, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from acetic acid and 2-methylphenol. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic sweet, fruity odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of both hydrophobic aromatic and hydrophilic carboxylate components. The compound is often used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the ester group, making it susceptible to hydrolysis under acidic or basic conditions. Additionally, it may participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Safety data indicates that, like many esters, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Proper storage in a cool, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances is recommended to ensure stability and safety.
