[1,1′-Biphenyl]-4-carboxylic acid, methyl ester

Description:

[1,1′-Biphenyl]-4-carboxylic acid, methyl ester, commonly referred to as methyl 4-biphenylcarboxylate, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure with a carboxylic acid group esterified with a methyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. It has a relatively low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The presence of the ester functional group contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including esterification and transesterification processes. Additionally, it can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds. The compound's molecular structure allows for potential applications in materials science, particularly in the development of polymers and other advanced materials. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.

4-Phenylbenzoic acid methyl ester

CAS: 720-75-2

4-Phenylbenzoic acid methyl ester is a bifunctional molecule that has been shown to be an effective antibacterial agent. It contains two oxadiazole moieties, which are structurally similar to sulfonamides and can form a stable amide bond with an amino group. The pharmacophore of 4-phenylbenzoic acid methyl ester is a four-member ring with two nitrogens and two carbons. This compound has been shown to have antibacterial properties by cleaving the magnesium bond in the enzyme methionine synthase, which catalyzes the formation of methionine from homocysteine and ATP. 4-Phenylbenzoic acid methyl ester is also able to cleave bonds in nonpolar solvents such as benzene, chloroform, and dichloromethane.
