Benzeneethanimidicacid, 4-ethoxy-, methyl ester

Description:

Benzeneethanimidic acid, 4-ethoxy-, methyl ester, identified by CAS number 737739-70-7, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a benzene ring, an ethanimidic acid moiety, and an ethoxy group. This compound typically exhibits properties common to esters, such as being relatively non-polar and having moderate solubility in organic solvents. The presence of the ethoxy group can influence its reactivity and solubility, making it more hydrophobic compared to similar compounds without such substituents. The methyl ester functionality suggests that it can undergo hydrolysis to yield the corresponding acid and methanol. Additionally, the compound may exhibit biological activity, potentially serving as a precursor in synthetic pathways or as an intermediate in pharmaceutical applications. Its stability and reactivity can be influenced by the electronic effects of the substituents on the benzene ring, which may affect its interactions in various chemical environments. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted for handling and usage.
