CAS 773134-78-4: Benzoic acid, 4-(difluoromethoxy)-, ethyl ester

Description: Benzoic acid, 4-(difluoromethoxy)-, ethyl ester, identified by its CAS number 773134-78-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzoic acid moiety with a difluoromethoxy substituent at the para position and an ethyl ester functional group. 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 due to its hydrophobic characteristics. The difluoromethoxy group introduces unique electronic properties, potentially enhancing its reactivity and influencing its interactions in chemical reactions. Benzoic acid derivatives are often studied for their applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. The presence of fluorine atoms can also impart increased stability and lipophilicity, making such compounds of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
