Ethyl 2-methoxybenzoate

Description:

Ethyl 2-methoxybenzoate, with the CAS number 7335-26-4, is an organic compound belonging to the class of esters. It is characterized by its ethyl ester functional group attached to a methoxy-substituted benzoic acid. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. Ethyl 2-methoxybenzoate is moderately soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, while its solubility in water is limited due to its hydrophobic nature. The compound exhibits a relatively low boiling point and a moderate vapor pressure, indicating volatility. It is stable under normal conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. Ethyl 2-methoxybenzoate is often utilized in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety data indicates that, while it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes, it is generally considered to have low toxicity when handled properly.
