Methyl 2-ethoxybenzoate

Description:

Methyl 2-ethoxybenzoate, with the CAS number 3686-55-3, is an organic compound belonging to the ester functional group. It is characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzoate moiety substituted with an ethoxy group and a methyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. Methyl 2-ethoxybenzoate is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. It is often used in the synthesis of various organic compounds and may serve as a flavoring agent or fragrance in the food and cosmetic industries. The compound exhibits moderate volatility and can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases, leading to the formation of the corresponding carboxylic acid and alcohol. Safety data indicates that, while it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes, it is generally considered to have low toxicity when handled properly.
