:Benzoic acid,3-hydroxy-, propyl ester
Description:
Benzoic acid, 3-hydroxy-, propyl ester, also known as propyl 3-hydroxybenzoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from benzoic acid and propanol. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. This compound is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic propyl group. It is commonly used in the cosmetic and food industries as a preservative and flavoring agent, owing to its antimicrobial properties. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its reactivity and potential for hydrogen bonding, which can influence its physical properties and interactions with other substances. Additionally, benzoic acid derivatives like this one are often studied for their potential applications in pharmaceuticals and as intermediates in organic synthesis. Safety data indicates that, while generally regarded as safe in low concentrations, it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation.
