2-phenylpentanoic acid

Description:
2-Phenylpentanoic acid, with the CAS number 5558-45-2, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by a pentanoic acid backbone substituted with a phenyl group at the second carbon position. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic phenyl group. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. 2-Phenylpentanoic acid can be utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its structural features contribute to its potential biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
