:Benzoic acid, 3-hydroxy-, 1-methylethyl ester
Description:
Benzoic acid, 3-hydroxy-, 1-methylethyl ester, commonly known as isobutyl 3-hydroxybenzoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from benzoic acid and isobutanol. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. This compound is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic isobutyl group. It is known for its applications in the fragrance and flavor industry, as well as in cosmetic formulations, where it may serve as a preservative or stabilizer. The presence of the hydroxy group contributes to its reactivity, allowing for potential participation in various chemical reactions, such as esterification or oxidation. Additionally, benzoic acid derivatives like this compound may exhibit antimicrobial properties, making them useful in food preservation and other applications. Safety data should be consulted to understand its handling and potential health effects, as with any chemical substance.
