2-Methoxy-6-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

2-Methoxy-6-methylbenzoic acid, with the CAS number 6161-65-5, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a methoxy group and a methyl group on a benzoic acid framework. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, while exhibiting limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The methoxy group contributes to its electron-donating properties, influencing its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. As a benzoic acid derivative, it possesses acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. The compound may also exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. Its melting point and boiling point can vary based on purity and environmental conditions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
