4-Methylbenzenebutanoic acid

Description:

4-Methylbenzenebutanoic acid, also known as p-toluic acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by a butanoic acid chain attached to a para-methyl-substituted benzene ring. Its molecular structure features a hydrophobic aromatic system, which contributes to its solubility properties, while the carboxylic acid functional group provides acidic characteristics. This compound typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. It is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis, in the production of pharmaceuticals, and in the manufacture of polymers and surfactants. The presence of the methyl group enhances its reactivity and influences its physical properties, such as melting and boiling points. Additionally, 4-Methylbenzenebutanoic acid can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation, making it a versatile compound in chemical synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
