Benzoic acid, 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-, methyl ester

Description:
Benzoic acid, 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-, methyl ester, with the CAS number 46190-45-8, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It is derived from benzoic acid, where a methyl ester group is attached to the carboxylic acid, and a hydroxyethyl group is positioned at the para position of the aromatic ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of the hydroxyethyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The compound may have applications in the fields of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis. Its properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and reactivity, can vary based on environmental conditions and the presence of other substances. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
