1,3-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 4-methyl-

Description:

1,3-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 4-methyl-, also known as 4-methylphthalic acid, is an aromatic dicarboxylic acid characterized by the presence of two carboxylic acid groups (-COOH) attached to a benzene ring, along with a methyl group (-CH3) at the 4-position. This compound typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in polar organic solvents. It has a melting point that generally falls within a moderate range, indicative of its crystalline nature. The presence of multiple functional groups allows for various chemical reactivity, making it useful in the synthesis of polymers, plasticizers, and other chemical intermediates. Additionally, 4-methylphthalic acid can participate in esterification reactions, forming esters that are valuable in industrial applications. Its structural features contribute to its potential applications in materials science and organic synthesis, while also being of interest in studies related to environmental chemistry due to its potential presence in various industrial processes.
