3-Methoxy-2-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

3-Methoxy-2-methylbenzoic acid, also known by its CAS number 55289-06-0, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a methoxy group (-OCH₃) and a methyl group (-CH₃) attached to a benzoic acid structure. This compound typically exhibits a white to off-white crystalline appearance and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. Its methoxy and methyl substituents can influence its reactivity and polarity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, the compound may exhibit biological activity, which can be explored in medicinal chemistry contexts. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
