Benzeneacetic acid,2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-

Description:

Benzeneacetic acid, 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl- is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by its benzene ring substituted with four methyl groups at the 2, 3, 5, and 6 positions, along with a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) attached to the benzene ring via an acetic acid moiety. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is known for its relatively low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The presence of multiple methyl groups contributes to its hydrophobic nature and can influence its reactivity and interactions with biological systems. Benzeneacetic acid derivatives are often studied for their potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. Safety data indicates that, like many aromatic compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential irritant properties.
