2,4-Dimethoxy-6-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

2,4-Dimethoxy-6-methylbenzoic acid, with the CAS number 3686-57-5, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of two methoxy groups and a methyl group on a benzoic acid framework. This compound typically exhibits a white to off-white crystalline solid form. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. The methoxy groups can influence the compound's reactivity and polarity, affecting its interactions in biological systems and synthetic applications. Additionally, this compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. Proper handling and storage are essential, as with many organic compounds, to ensure safety and stability.
