Description:4-(Ethoxycarbonyl)benzoic acid, with the CAS number 713-57-5, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of both an ethoxycarbonyl group and a carboxylic acid functional group attached to a benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, though its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. The ethoxycarbonyl group contributes to its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various derivatives and in the development of pharmaceuticals. The presence of the carboxylic acid group allows for potential hydrogen bonding, influencing its physical properties and reactivity. Additionally, this compound may exhibit moderate acidity, which can be relevant in various chemical reactions. Overall, 4-(ethoxycarbonyl)benzoic acid serves as an important building block in organic chemistry, with applications in both research and industrial settings.
