Phenol, 2,6-dimethyl-, propanoate

Description:

Phenol, 2,6-dimethyl-, propanoate, also known as 2,6-dimethylphenyl propanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from phenol and propanoic acid. It features a phenolic ring with two methyl groups located at the 2 and 6 positions, which influence its chemical properties and reactivity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents while exhibiting limited solubility in water. The presence of the methyl groups enhances its hydrophobic character and can affect its biological activity. As an ester, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water or acidic conditions, reverting to its constituent phenol and propanoic acid. This compound may be utilized in various applications, including as a fragrance or flavoring agent, and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
