Benzoic acid, 2,6-diethyl-

Description:
Benzoic acid, 2,6-diethyl- is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a benzoic acid core with two ethyl groups attached to the benzene ring at the 2 and 6 positions. This compound typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is known for its relatively low solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the ethyl groups influences its physical properties, such as melting and boiling points, making them higher than those of benzoic acid itself. Benzoic acid derivatives, including 2,6-diethyl-, often exhibit antimicrobial properties and can be used in various applications, including food preservation and as intermediates in organic synthesis. The compound's structure contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in typical carboxylic acid reactions, such as esterification and acid-base reactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
