4-tert-Butyl-2-methoxybenzoic acid

Description:
4-tert-Butyl-2-methoxybenzoic acid, with the CAS number 52328-48-0, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by its benzoic acid structure substituted with a tert-butyl group and a methoxy group. This compound typically exhibits a white to off-white crystalline appearance and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic tert-butyl group. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. Its methoxy group can influence the compound's reactivity and polarity, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the tert-butyl group contributes to steric hindrance, which can affect the compound's reactivity and interaction with biological systems. Overall, 4-tert-Butyl-2-methoxybenzoic acid is a valuable compound in chemical research and industrial applications.
