2-Thiophenecarboxylic acid, 3-hydroxy-4-methyl-, methyl ester

Description:

2-Thiophenecarboxylic acid, 3-hydroxy-4-methyl-, methyl ester, with the CAS number 32711-57-2, is an organic compound characterized by its thiophene ring structure, which is a five-membered aromatic heterocycle containing sulfur. This compound features a carboxylic acid functional group that has been esterified with methanol, resulting in a methyl ester. The presence of a hydroxyl group at the 3-position and a methyl group at the 4-position on the thiophene ring contributes to its unique chemical properties, including potential acidity and reactivity. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. This compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water are typical for thiophene derivatives, influencing its applications in various chemical syntheses and formulations. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances.
