Benzoic acid, 5-formyl-2-methyl-, methyl ester

Description:
Benzoic acid, 5-formyl-2-methyl-, methyl ester, identified by the CAS number 675148-96-6, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group, which is derived from benzoic acid. This compound features a methyl ester group attached to a benzoic acid backbone, along with a formyl group and a methyl substituent at specific positions on the aromatic ring. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. The presence of the formyl group indicates potential reactivity, particularly in condensation reactions, while the methyl ester can participate in hydrolysis and transesterification processes. This compound may exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water, reflecting its hydrophobic characteristics due to the aromatic structure. Its applications may include use in organic synthesis, as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, or in the development of agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
