:ethyl 2,6-dihydroxybenzoate
Description:
Ethyl 2,6-dihydroxybenzoate, with the CAS number 54640-04-9, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of benzoate esters. It is characterized by the presence of two hydroxyl (-OH) groups located at the 2 and 6 positions of the benzene ring, which contribute to its solubility and reactivity. The ethyl group attached to the carboxylate portion enhances its lipophilicity compared to its parent acid. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid or crystalline substance and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic ethyl group. Ethyl 2,6-dihydroxybenzoate exhibits antioxidant properties and may be used in various applications, including cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, due to its potential to stabilize formulations. Additionally, its structural features suggest that it may participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its physical properties and interactions with other molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage guidelines.
