CAS 51018-80-5: α-Ethyl-α-methylbenzeneacetic acid

Description: α-Ethyl-α-methylbenzeneacetic acid, also known by its CAS number 51018-80-5, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with both ethyl and methyl groups, along with a carboxylic acid functional group. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with aromatic acids, such as moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chains. The presence of the carboxylic acid group imparts acidic characteristics, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and neutralization. Its molecular structure suggests potential applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Additionally, the compound may exhibit specific reactivity patterns typical of substituted aromatic acids, such as electrophilic aromatic substitution. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
