Methyl 3,4-dihydroxy-2-methylbenzoate

Description:
Methyl 3,4-dihydroxy-2-methylbenzoate, identified by its CAS number 740799-82-0, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of benzoates, specifically a methyl ester of a substituted benzoic acid. This compound features a methyl group and two hydroxyl groups positioned on the benzene ring, contributing to its potential biological activity and solubility characteristics. It is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water may vary depending on the pH. The presence of hydroxyl groups suggests that it may participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. Methyl 3,4-dihydroxy-2-methylbenzoate may exhibit antioxidant properties and could be of interest in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. As with many organic compounds, proper handling and safety precautions should be observed, as its specific toxicity and environmental impact may not be fully characterized.
