3-(3-Methylphenyl)propionic acid

Description:

3-(3-Methylphenyl)propionic acid, also known as 3-(p-cymyl)propanoic acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by its propionic acid backbone attached to a 3-methylphenyl group. This compound features a phenyl ring with a methyl substituent at the para position, contributing to its hydrophobic characteristics. It is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, but less so in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. This compound may be used in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structural features suggest potential applications in materials science and as a building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
