4-[(Carboxymethyl)amino]benzoic acid

Description:
4-[(Carboxymethyl)amino]benzoic acid, also known as p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) derivative, is an organic compound characterized by its carboxymethyl and amino functional groups attached to a benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to the presence of the carboxylic acid and amino groups, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. It has a molecular structure that allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, making it useful in biochemical applications. The presence of the carboxymethyl group enhances its reactivity and solubility compared to its parent compound, PABA. This substance is often utilized in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, as well as in the formulation of sunscreens and cosmetics due to its UV-absorbing properties. Additionally, it may serve as a building block in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. Safety data indicates that while it is generally regarded as safe, appropriate handling and usage guidelines should be followed to minimize any potential risks.
