Butanoic acid, 4-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methoxy]-

Description:

Butanoic acid, 4-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methoxy]- is an organic compound characterized by its carboxylic acid functional group and a methoxy-substituted aromatic ring. This compound features a butanoic acid backbone, which consists of a four-carbon chain terminating in a carboxylic acid (-COOH) group, contributing to its acidic properties. The presence of the 4-methoxyphenylmethoxy group indicates that it has a methoxy (-OCH3) substituent on a phenyl ring, enhancing its lipophilicity and potentially influencing its biological activity. The molecular structure suggests that it may exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents while being less soluble in water due to the hydrophobic aromatic component. Butanoic acid derivatives often display various applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. The specific characteristics, such as melting point, boiling point, and reactivity, would depend on the precise molecular interactions and the presence of functional groups, which can affect its behavior in different chemical environments.
