4-Methoxy-3-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

4-Methoxy-3-methylbenzoic acid, also known by its CAS number 6880-04-2, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by a methoxy group (-OCH₃) and a methyl group (-CH₃) attached to a benzoic acid structure. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline 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 the carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. Its methoxy and methyl substituents can influence its reactivity and physical properties, such as melting point and boiling point. 4-Methoxy-3-methylbenzoic acid is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.
