3-Methoxy-4-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

3-Methoxy-4-methylbenzoic acid, also known as o-anisic acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a methoxy group (-OCH₃) and a methyl group (-CH₃) attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C₉H₁₀O₃, and it features a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) that imparts acidic properties. This compound typically appears as a white to light yellow crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water. The presence of the methoxy and methyl substituents influences its reactivity and polarity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications. 3-Methoxy-4-methylbenzoic acid can serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds. Its properties, including melting point and boiling point, can vary based on purity and environmental conditions. As with many organic acids, it should be handled with care, following appropriate safety protocols to avoid irritation or adverse reactions.

3-Methoxy-4-methylbenzoic acid (3MMBA) is a fatty acid that is biosynthesized by the beilschmiedia tree. It has been shown to have antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. 3MMBA also inhibits the synthesis of bacterial fatty acids and inhibits the growth of bacteria in vitro. The chromophore of 3MMBA is oxetane, which can be used as an indicator for 3MMBA in chromatographic science.
