4-Ethylbenzoic acid

Description:

4-Ethylbenzoic acid, with the CAS number 619-64-7, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of an ethyl group attached to the para position of a benzoic acid structure. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic ethyl group. It has a melting point that generally falls within a moderate range, indicative of its crystalline nature. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and acid-base reactions. 4-Ethylbenzoic acid is utilized in organic synthesis and can serve as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other chemical compounds. Its structural features contribute to its reactivity and potential applications in various fields, including materials science and medicinal chemistry.

4-Ethylbenzoic acid is a fatty acid that can be found in human and animal cells. It is an important intermediate for the synthesis of phenolic acids and it has been shown to have physiological effects on yeast. 4-Ethylbenzoic acid binds to bacterial enzymes, such as acylation reactions, which are involved in energy production. This binding prevents the enzyme from completing its reaction and leads to a decrease in energy production. Acylation reactions are also used by bacteria to produce biofilms, which can lead to chronic infections. The redox potential of 4-ethylbenzoic acid makes it suitable for wastewater treatment because it reacts with hydroxyl ions and reduces their concentration, causing wastewater to become less toxic. The second order rate constant of 4-ethylbenzoic acid was measured using magnetic resonance spectroscopy and structural analysis techniques.
