:Benzoic acid, 4-octyl-, methyl ester
Description:
Benzoic acid, 4-octyl-, methyl ester, also known by its CAS number 54256-51-8, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is formed from benzoic acid and methanol. This compound features a long hydrophobic octyl chain, contributing to its lipophilicity and potential applications in various fields, including as a surfactant or in the formulation of personal care products. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. The presence of the benzoate moiety imparts some degree of aromaticity, influencing its chemical reactivity and stability. Benzoic acid derivatives are known for their antimicrobial properties, and this compound may exhibit similar characteristics, making it of interest in food preservation and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, its solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water can affect its behavior in different environments. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
