2-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-6-methylbenzoic acid

Description:
2-Hydroxy-3-isopropyl-6-methylbenzoic acid, also known by its CAS number 548-51-6, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of benzoic acids. It features a benzoic acid core with hydroxyl (-OH), isopropyl, and methyl substituents at specific positions on the aromatic ring. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is characterized by its moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its acidity, making it a weak acid. Its isopropyl and methyl groups enhance its hydrophobic character, influencing its interactions in biological and chemical systems. 2-Hydroxy-3-isopropyl-6-methylbenzoic acid may exhibit biological activity, potentially serving as an intermediate in organic synthesis or as a pharmaceutical compound. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
