Benzoic acid, 3-ethenyl-, methyl ester

Description:
Benzoic acid, 3-ethenyl-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 3-vinylbenzoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from benzoic acid and vinyl. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, floral odor. This compound is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the vinyl group contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis processes, including polymerization reactions. Benzoic acid derivatives, including this compound, are often utilized in the production of fragrances, flavoring agents, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. Additionally, it may exhibit antimicrobial properties, which can be advantageous in certain applications. Safety data indicates that, like many organic esters, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Proper storage and handling protocols are essential to ensure safety and stability.
