CAS 5368-81-0: Benzoic acid, 3-methoxy-, methyl ester

Description:Benzoic acid, 3-methoxy-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 3-methoxybenzoate, is an aromatic ester characterized by its methoxy and methyl functional groups attached to a benzoic acid backbone. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, sweet odor reminiscent of floral or fruity notes. This compound is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. It is commonly used in the synthesis of various organic compounds and as a flavoring agent or fragrance in the food and cosmetic industries. The presence of the methoxy group enhances its reactivity and can influence its chemical behavior, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, it may exhibit mild antimicrobial properties, contributing to its applications in preservation. Safety data indicates that, while generally regarded as safe in low concentrations, it should be handled with care to avoid potential irritation or allergic reactions.
