:Benzoic acid, 2-methoxy-3-methyl-, methyl ester
Description:
Benzoic acid, 2-methoxy-3-methyl-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 2-methoxy-3-methylbenzoate, is an aromatic ester characterized by its structure, which includes a benzoic acid core with methoxy and methyl substituents. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the methoxy group enhances its volatility and contributes to its aromatic properties. Benzoic acid derivatives, including this methyl ester, are often used in the fragrance and flavor industry, as well as in organic synthesis as intermediates. Additionally, it may exhibit antimicrobial properties, making it of interest in food preservation and other applications. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted to understand its handling and potential hazards.
