3-(propan-2-yl)benzoic acid

Description:

3-(Propan-2-yl)benzoic acid, also known as 3-isopropylbenzoic acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a benzoic acid moiety with an isopropyl group attached to the meta position of the benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is sparingly soluble in water, but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. Its molecular structure contributes to its moderate acidity, which is typical of carboxylic acids, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. The presence of the isopropyl group can influence its physical properties, such as melting point and boiling point, as well as its reactivity. 3-(Propan-2-yl)benzoic acid may be used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Safety data indicates that, like many organic acids, it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation.

CAS: 5651-47-8

3-Isopropylbenzoic acid is a chemical compound that is used as a solvent and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It has antibacterial activity and can be used to treat wastewater containing bacteria. 3-Isopropylbenzoic acid inhibits the growth of bacteria by acting on their cell membranes, causing them to leak, which leads to cell death. This compound also has photoreceptor effects and can be used in the treatment of eye diseases. 3-Isopropylbenzoic acid's antibacterial properties may be due to its ability to react with sulfoxides, producing sulfones that are toxic for bacterial cells.
