m-Tolylacetic Acid

CAS: 621-36-3

m-Tolylacetic Acid is a synthetic compound that is used as an intermediate for the synthesis of epoxides. It is also found in natural compounds, such as filamentous fungus. m-Tolylacetic Acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of Candida albicans and other fungi by inhibiting the production of unsaturated ketones and active enzymes. The uptake and reaction products of this molecule have also been studied using molecular modeling techniques. The kinetic behaviour of m-tolylacetic acid chloride has been investigated using immobilized metal ion complexes and proton NMR spectroscopy.
