2-(3-benzylphenyl)propanoic acid

Description:

2-(3-benzylphenyl)propanoic acid, also known by its CAS number 73913-48-1, is an organic compound characterized by its propanoic acid backbone substituted with a 3-benzylphenyl group. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with aromatic carboxylic acids, including moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. It is likely to have a relatively high melting point and boiling point compared to aliphatic acids, owing to the presence of the aromatic rings which enhance intermolecular interactions. The compound may exhibit acidic behavior, capable of donating protons in solution, and could participate in various chemical reactions typical of carboxylic acids, such as esterification and amidation. Additionally, due to its structural features, it may possess biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
