Benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-5-(1-methylethyl)-

Description:
Benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-5-(1-methylethyl)-, commonly known as 2-hydroxy-5-isopropylbenzoic acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by its benzoic acid core with a hydroxyl group and an isopropyl substituent. This compound features a hydroxyl (-OH) group at the ortho position and an isopropyl group at the meta position relative to the carboxylic acid functional group. It is typically a white crystalline solid with moderate solubility in water, but it is more soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its acidity and potential for hydrogen bonding, influencing its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. This compound may be used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and potentially in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its CAS number, 31589-71-6, allows for easy identification in chemical databases and regulatory contexts. As with many organic acids, it may exhibit antimicrobial properties, making it of interest in food preservation and other industries.
