CAS 501-52-0: Benzenepropanoic acid
Description:Benzenepropanoic acid, also known as phenylpropanoic acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by a benzene ring attached to a propanoic acid moiety. Its molecular structure features a phenyl group (C6H5) linked to a three-carbon chain that terminates in a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH). This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its relatively low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Benzenepropanoic acid exhibits typical carboxylic acid properties, including the ability to donate protons (H+) in aqueous solutions, making it a weak acid. It can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation, and is often used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and fragrances. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
