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.
