4-(2-Phenylethyl)benzoic acid

Description:
4-(2-Phenylethyl)benzoic acid, also known by its CAS number 785-79-5, is an organic compound characterized by a benzoic acid structure with a phenylethyl group attached to the para position of the benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic phenyl groups. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. Its molecular structure contributes to its potential applications in pharmaceuticals, as well as in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Proper handling and storage are essential, as with many organic acids, to ensure safety and stability.
