Benzoic acid, 4-hydroxy-, 4-methoxyphenyl ester

Description:

Benzoic acid, 4-hydroxy-, 4-methoxyphenyl ester, commonly known as p-hydroxy-p-methoxybenzoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from benzoic acid and a phenolic structure. This compound features a benzoate moiety with hydroxyl and methoxy substituents at the para positions of the aromatic ring, which can influence its solubility and reactivity. It is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, but its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic system. The presence of hydroxyl and methoxy groups can enhance its antioxidant properties and may contribute to its biological activity. This compound is often studied for its potential applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and as a preservative due to its antimicrobial properties. Additionally, its structural characteristics may allow for various chemical modifications, making it a versatile compound in organic synthesis and material science.
