[1,1'-Biphenyl]-4-acetic acid, a-methyl-, methyl ester

Description:

[1,1'-Biphenyl]-4-acetic acid, α-methyl-, methyl ester, commonly referred to as a methyl ester derivative of biphenyl, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure with an acetic acid moiety and a methyl group at the alpha position. This compound typically exhibits a white to off-white crystalline appearance and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, while being less soluble in water. Its molecular structure contributes to its potential applications in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its ability to interact with biological systems. The presence of the biphenyl group can enhance lipophilicity, which may influence its bioactivity and transport properties. Additionally, the compound may undergo typical organic reactions such as esterification and hydrolysis, making it versatile in synthetic chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
