5-Acetyl-2-methoxybenzoic acid

Description:
5-Acetyl-2-methoxybenzoic acid, with the CAS number 68535-61-5, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of benzoic acids. It features a methoxy group (-OCH3) and an acetyl group (-COCH3) attached to a benzene ring, which contributes to its unique chemical properties. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of both the acetyl and methoxy groups influences its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including esterification and acylation. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, which could be of interest in pharmaceutical applications. As with many organic compounds, proper handling and storage are essential to maintain its stability and prevent degradation. Safety data sheets should be consulted for specific handling precautions and toxicity information.
