Benzoic acid, 2,4-dimethyl-, ethyl ester

Description:

Benzoic acid, 2,4-dimethyl-, ethyl ester, with the CAS number 33499-42-2, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of benzoate esters. It is characterized by its ester functional group, which is formed from the reaction of benzoic acid and ethanol, incorporating two methyl groups at the 2 and 4 positions of the benzene ring. This structure contributes to its unique properties, including moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water. The compound typically exhibits a pleasant, fruity odor, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. Its melting and boiling points are influenced by the presence of the ester and methyl groups, which can affect its volatility and stability. Additionally, benzoic acid derivatives are known for their antimicrobial properties, which may extend to this compound, although specific biological activity can vary. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled in significant quantities.
