4-Methoxy-α-phenylbenzenepropanoic acid

Description:
4-Methoxy-α-phenylbenzenepropanoic acid, also known by its CAS number 4314-68-5, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and functional groups. It features a methoxy group (-OCH3) attached to a phenyl ring, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties. The presence of the carboxylic acid group (-COOH) at the propanoic acid moiety imparts acidic characteristics, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and neutralization. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water may be limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. Its molecular structure suggests potential applications in pharmaceuticals, particularly as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds. Additionally, the methoxy group can influence the compound's reactivity and interaction with biological systems, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and drug development.
