3-Iodo-5-methylbenzoic acid

Description:
3-Iodo-5-methylbenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of an iodine atom and a methyl group on a benzoic acid framework. The iodine atom is located at the meta position (3-position) relative to the carboxylic acid group, while the methyl group is situated at the para position (5-position). This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is sparingly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. It exhibits typical acid properties, including the ability to donate protons in solution, which is a characteristic of carboxylic acids. The presence of the iodine substituent can influence the compound's reactivity, making it useful in various organic synthesis applications, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the compound may exhibit unique physical and chemical properties due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the iodine atom, which can affect its acidity and reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions.
