Ethyl 2,4-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethylbenzoate, with the CAS number 31581-32-5, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of benzoate esters. It features a benzoic acid derivative structure, characterized by the presence of two hydroxyl groups at the 2 and 4 positions and two methyl groups at the 3 and 6 positions of the aromatic ring. The ethyl ester group contributes to its solubility in organic solvents. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and may exhibit moderate stability under standard conditions. It is known for its potential applications in the fields of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, often serving as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex molecules. The presence of hydroxyl groups may impart some degree of polarity, influencing its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted to understand its handling and potential hazards.
