2-methoxy-2-phenylpropanoic acid

Description:

2-Methoxy-2-phenylpropanoic acid, also known by its CAS number 7472-67-5, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a methoxy group (-OCH3) and a phenyl group (C6H5) attached to a propanoic acid backbone. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, but its solubility in water is limited due to its hydrophobic phenyl group. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. Its methoxy group can also influence its reactivity and polarity. 2-Methoxy-2-phenylpropanoic acid may be utilized in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical applications, although specific uses can vary. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment to avoid inhalation or skin contact.
