3-[4-(1-methylethyl)phenyl]propanoic acid

Description:
3-[4-(1-Methylethyl)phenyl]propanoic acid, also known by its CAS number 58420-21-6, is an organic compound characterized by its propanoic acid backbone substituted with a para-isopropylphenyl group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, but its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the isopropyl group. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. Its molecular structure suggests potential applications in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where it may act as an intermediate or a building block for more complex molecules. Additionally, the compound's unique substituents may influence its biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
