Benzoic acid, 4-methoxy-2,3-dimethyl-

Description:
Benzoic acid, 4-methoxy-2,3-dimethyl- (CAS 5628-61-5) is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by its benzoic acid core with additional methoxy and methyl substituents. This compound features a methoxy group (-OCH₃) at the para position relative to the carboxylic acid group, along with two methyl groups (-CH₃) at the 2 and 3 positions of the benzene ring. It is typically a white crystalline solid with a moderate melting point and is soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the methoxy and methyl groups influences its chemical reactivity and polarity, making it less acidic than benzoic acid itself. This compound may exhibit antimicrobial properties and is often studied for its potential applications in pharmaceuticals and organic synthesis. Its structure allows for various interactions, including hydrogen bonding, which can affect its solubility and reactivity in different environments. As with many aromatic compounds, it may also participate in electrophilic substitution reactions.
