[1,1′-Biphenyl]-4-carboxylic acid, 4′-methyl-, methyl ester

Description:
[1,1′-Biphenyl]-4-carboxylic acid, 4′-methyl-, methyl ester, commonly referred to as methyl 4-methyl-4-biphenylcarboxylate, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure with a carboxylic acid group and a methyl group at the para position of one of the phenyl rings. This compound typically appears as 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 biphenyl structure. The presence of the ester functional group suggests that it can undergo hydrolysis to yield the corresponding carboxylic acid and methanol. This compound may be utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its potential reactivity and ability to serve as a building block in various chemical reactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
