CAS 3556-83-0: Benzoic acid, 3-methoxy-4-methyl-, methyl ester

Description: Benzoic acid, 3-methoxy-4-methyl-, methyl ester, commonly known as methyl 3-methoxy-4-methylbenzoate, is an aromatic ester characterized by its pleasant, fruity odor. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water. The compound features a methoxy group (-OCH₃) and a methyl group (-CH₃) attached to the benzene ring, which contribute to its chemical properties and reactivity. It is often used in the synthesis of various organic compounds and as a flavoring agent in the food industry. Additionally, it may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The compound's stability under normal conditions makes it suitable for various applications, although it should be handled with care due to potential irritant properties. As with many esters, it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases, reverting to its corresponding acid and alcohol.
