CAS 621-51-2

3-Ethoxybenzoic acid

Description:

3-Ethoxybenzoic acid, with the CAS number 621-51-2, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of an ethoxy group (-OCH2CH3) attached to the benzene ring at the meta position relative to the carboxylic acid group (-COOH). This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the ethoxy group. The presence of both the ethoxy and carboxylic acid functional groups imparts unique chemical properties, allowing for potential applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. 3-Ethoxybenzoic acid can undergo typical reactions of carboxylic acids, such as esterification and acid-base reactions, and may also participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution due to the electron-donating effect of the ethoxy group. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.

3-Ethoxybenzoic acid

CAS: 621-51-2

3-Ethoxybenzoic acid is an organic compound that is used as a ligand in biochemistry. It has been shown to be active in the monooxygenase activity of human cytochrome P450 enzymes, including CYP1A2 and CYP3A4. 3-Ethoxybenzoic acid binds to the ferredoxin molecule, which is a hydrogen-accepting cofactor found in many electron transfer reactions. The orientation of 3-ethoxybenzoic acid with respect to the ferredoxin molecule determines its catalytic activity. Crystallography studies have revealed that 3-ethoxybenzoic acid can bind to two water molecules and one hydroxide ion, stabilizing the ferredoxin molecule and increasing its catalytic activity.
