CAS 3724-10-5

2-(Methylthio)benzoic acid

Description:

2-(Methylthio)benzoic acid, with the CAS number 3724-10-5, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a methylthio group (-S-CH3) attached to the benzene ring at the second position relative to the carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH). This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the methylthio group. The presence of both the methylthio and carboxylic acid functionalities imparts unique chemical reactivity, making it useful in various organic synthesis applications. It can participate in typical acid-base reactions, and its methylthio group can undergo nucleophilic substitution or oxidation reactions. Additionally, 2-(Methylthio)benzoic acid may exhibit biological activity, which can be of interest in pharmaceutical research. Proper handling and storage are essential, as with many organic compounds, to ensure safety and stability.
