CAS 729-18-0

4′-Ethoxy[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-carboxylic acid

Description:

4′-Ethoxy[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-carboxylic acid, with the CAS number 729-18-0, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure substituted with an ethoxy group and a carboxylic acid functional group. This compound typically appears as a solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature due to the biphenyl moiety. The presence of the carboxylic acid group imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. The ethoxy substituent enhances the compound's lipophilicity and can influence its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. This compound may be utilized in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, or as an intermediate in the production of dyes and agrochemicals. Its structural features suggest potential applications in materials science and medicinal chemistry, where biphenyl derivatives are often explored for their electronic and biological properties. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
