Benzenepropanoic acid, 4-(methoxycarbonyl)-, methyl ester

Description:
Benzenepropanoic acid, 4-(methoxycarbonyl)-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 4-(methoxycarbonyl)benzoate, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and ester functional group. It features a benzene ring substituted with a propanoic acid moiety and a methoxycarbonyl group, which contributes to its reactivity and solubility properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It 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 methoxycarbonyl group enhances its potential for further chemical reactions, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, its aromatic nature may impart certain stability and reactivity characteristics, making it of interest in various chemical applications. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
