CAS 603-80-5: 3-Hydroxy-2-Methyl Benzoic Acid

Description:3-Hydroxy-2-Methylbenzoic acid, also known as salicylic acid methyl derivative, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of both a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) on a benzene ring. Its molecular structure features a methyl group attached to the benzene ring, specifically at the second position relative to the hydroxyl group, which is located at the third position. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water. It exhibits properties typical of phenolic compounds, including potential antioxidant activity and the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding. 3-Hydroxy-2-Methylbenzoic acid is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and other chemical products. Its CAS number, 603-80-5, is a unique identifier that facilitates its recognition in chemical databases and regulatory frameworks.
