4-Phenoxybutyric acid

Description:

4-Phenoxybutyric acid is an organic compound characterized by its phenoxy group attached to a butyric acid backbone. It typically appears as a white to off-white solid or crystalline substance. This compound is known for its role as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It possesses both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties due to the presence of the carboxylic acid and phenoxy functional groups, which can influence its solubility in different solvents. The compound is generally stable under standard conditions but may undergo hydrolysis or other reactions under extreme pH or temperature. Its molecular structure allows for potential interactions with biological systems, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety data indicates that, like many organic acids, it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation. Overall, 4-Phenoxybutyric acid serves as a valuable building block in organic synthesis and research applications.

Controlled Product

CAS: 6303-58-8

4-Phenoxybutyric acid is a molecule that is produced by filamentous fungi. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of many bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium, and Enterobacter aerogenes. 4-Phenoxybutyric acid binds to the receptor on the surface of the bacterial cell membrane and prevents it from functioning correctly. It also prevents the production of proteins necessary for growth and survival. This inhibition leads to a loss of energy in the cell, which eventually leads to death. The molecule has been shown to be effective in inhibiting bacteria even if they are resistant to antibiotics. 4-Phenoxybutyric acid has been shown to be more efficient than other methods for microbial biotransformation, such as dispersive solid-phase extraction or liquid-liquid extraction.
