CAS 704205-92-5

Butanedioic acid,2-(4-ethylphenyl)-

Description:

Butanedioic acid, 2-(4-ethylphenyl)-, also known by its CAS number 704205-92-5, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a butanedioic acid backbone with a 4-ethylphenyl substituent at the second carbon position. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with both carboxylic acids and aromatic compounds. It is likely to be a solid at room temperature, with moderate solubility in polar solvents due to the carboxylic acid functional groups. The presence of the ethylphenyl group can influence its physical properties, such as melting and boiling points, as well as its reactivity. This compound may participate in various chemical reactions typical of carboxylic acids, including esterification and acid-base reactions. Its potential applications could span across pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as intermediates in organic synthesis, although specific uses would depend on further research and development. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
