Benzoylacetic acid

Description:
Benzoylacetic acid, with the CAS number 614-20-0, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features both a benzoyl group and an acetic acid moiety. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is known for its moderate solubility in polar solvents such as water, as well as in organic solvents like ethanol and ether. Benzoylacetic acid exhibits acidic properties due to the presence of the carboxylic acid functional group, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and acylation. It is often utilized in organic synthesis and can serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, benzoylacetic acid may display biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety data indicates that, like many organic acids, it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances is recommended to maintain its stability and efficacy.
