2-(2-Methylphenoxy)propanoic acid

Description:
2-(2-Methylphenoxy)propanoic acid, also known by its CAS number 7345-21-3, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and carboxylic acid functional group. This compound features a propanoic acid backbone with a 2-methylphenoxy substituent, which contributes to its unique chemical properties. It is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water may be limited due to the hydrophobic aromatic ring. The presence of the carboxylic acid group allows for potential hydrogen bonding, influencing its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. This compound is often studied for its applications in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly as a herbicide or plant growth regulator. Its chemical behavior can be influenced by factors such as pH, temperature, and the presence of other functional groups in a mixture. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances.
