CAS 612-35-1

o-benzylbenzoic acid

Description:

o-Benzylbenzoic acid, with the CAS number 612-35-1, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of both a benzyl group and a benzoic acid moiety. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid. It is known for its relatively low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The molecular structure features a benzene ring attached to a carboxylic acid group, with an additional benzyl group ortho to the carboxylic acid, which influences its chemical reactivity and physical properties. o-Benzylbenzoic acid can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and acylation, making it useful in organic synthesis. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, which can be of interest in pharmaceutical applications. Its melting point and boiling point can vary based on purity and environmental conditions, and it should be handled with care due to potential irritant properties.

±-Phenyl-o-toluic acid

CAS: 612-35-1

±-Phenyl-o-toluic acid is a chemical compound that can be prepared by dehydration of sodium hydrogen benzoylbenzoate with malonic acid or from benzoic acid and amide. ±-Phenyl-o-toluic acid is used in the detection of 2-benzoylbenzoic acid. It has been shown to be an efficient method for detecting this chemical and it has a detection sensitivity of 0.5 ppm. ±-Phenyl-o-toluic acid is acidic, due to its carboxylic group, which makes it suitable as a reactant in organic synthesis reactions such as esterification, amide formation, and dehydroabietic acid formation. This compound also has functional groups such as the carbonyl group and hydroxyl group.
