Benzoic acid, 4-formyl-2-hydroxy-, methyl ester

Description:
Benzoic acid, 4-formyl-2-hydroxy-, methyl ester, with the CAS number 42137-51-9, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from benzoic acid. This compound features a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a formyl group (-CHO) attached to the benzene ring, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. It is typically a white to light yellow solid with moderate solubility in polar solvents such as methanol and ethanol, while being less soluble in non-polar solvents. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts some acidity, while the formyl group can participate in various chemical reactions, including condensation and oxidation. This compound may be used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals due to its functional groups that allow for further chemical modifications. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
