1,4-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 2,3-dimethoxy-

Description:

1,4-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 2,3-dimethoxy- is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, featuring a benzene ring with two carboxylic acid groups (-COOH) and two methoxy groups (-OCH3) attached to the ring. The presence of the carboxylic acid groups contributes to its acidity and potential for forming hydrogen bonds, while the methoxy groups enhance its solubility in organic solvents and may influence its reactivity. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in polar organic solvents. It is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various chemical products, including polymers and pharmaceuticals. The compound's properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and reactivity, can vary based on its specific molecular interactions and the presence of functional groups. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
