Benzoic acid, 5-acetyl-2-methoxy-, methyl ester

Description:
Benzoic acid, 5-acetyl-2-methoxy-, methyl ester, identified by the CAS number 39971-36-3, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from benzoic acid. This compound features a methoxy group (-OCH3) and an acetyl group (-COCH3) attached to the benzene ring, contributing to its unique chemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. The presence of the methoxy and acetyl substituents influences its solubility, making it more soluble in organic solvents than in water. This compound may exhibit various biological activities, including antimicrobial properties, and is often studied for its potential applications in pharmaceuticals and as a flavoring agent. Its stability under normal conditions allows for ease of handling, although it should be stored away from strong oxidizing agents. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.
