Description:Benzoic acid, 3-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxy-, methyl ester, commonly referred to as methyl 3-(tert-butyl)-4-hydroxybenzoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from benzoic acid. It features a tert-butyl group at the 3-position and a hydroxy group at the 4-position of the aromatic ring, contributing to its unique properties. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid with moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water. It exhibits antioxidant properties, making it useful in various applications, including cosmetics and food preservation. The presence of the hydroxy group enhances its reactivity, allowing for potential derivatization in synthetic chemistry. Additionally, it may have implications in pharmaceuticals due to its structural characteristics. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as it may pose risks such as skin irritation or environmental impact if not managed properly.
