2,5-DIMETHYL-4-METHOXYBENZOIC ACID

Description:
2,5-Dimethyl-4-methoxybenzoic acid, with the CAS number 58106-26-6, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by its benzoic acid structure modified with two methyl groups and a methoxy group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. The methoxy group enhances the compound's reactivity and can influence its biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Additionally, the methyl substituents can affect the compound's melting point, boiling point, and overall stability. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
