3-Ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzoic acid

Description:
3-Ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzoic acid, with the CAS number 5438-38-0, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of benzoic acids. It features a benzoic acid core substituted with an ethoxy group at the meta position and a hydroxyl group at the para position. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic ethoxy group. The presence of both the ethoxy and hydroxyl groups contributes to its potential as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its functional groups also suggest that it may exhibit antioxidant properties and could be of interest in various biochemical applications. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, considering potential health and environmental impacts. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this substance.
