3-cyano-5-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

3-Cyano-5-methylbenzoic acid is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a benzoic acid structure with a cyano group (-CN) and a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the benzene ring. Specifically, the cyano group is located at the meta position (3-position) relative to the carboxylic acid group, while the methyl group is at the para position (5-position). This compound typically appears as a solid and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. It exhibits acidic properties due to the carboxylic acid functional group, which can donate a proton in solution. The presence of the cyano group contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the compound may exhibit specific spectral characteristics in techniques such as NMR and IR spectroscopy, which can be utilized for its identification and analysis. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as with many organic chemicals.
