CAS 6221-61-0

1,3-Benzenedipropanoic acid, dimethyl ester

Description:

1,3-Benzenedipropanoic acid, dimethyl ester, also known by its CAS number 6221-61-0, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a benzene ring substituted with two propanoic acid groups, each esterified with a methyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the ester functional groups contributes to its reactivity, making it susceptible to hydrolysis under acidic or basic conditions. This compound may be used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis, in the production of polymers, or as a plasticizer. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials is recommended to maintain its stability.
