CAS 59681-42-4
:2-ethyl-6-hydroxybenzoic acid
Description:
2-Ethyl-6-hydroxybenzoic acid, with the CAS number 59681-42-4, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group and an ethyl substituent on the benzene ring. This compound features a benzoic acid backbone, which contributes to its acidic properties, while the hydroxyl group enhances its potential for hydrogen bonding, affecting its solubility and reactivity. Typically, it appears as a solid at room temperature and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of the hydroxyl group. The ethyl group introduces hydrophobic characteristics, influencing its overall polarity. This compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structural features suggest potential applications in synthesis and as an intermediate in organic reactions. As with many organic acids, it may undergo typical acid-base reactions, esterification, and other transformations, depending on the reaction conditions and reagents involved. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
