1,3-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 4-hydroxy-, 1-methyl ester

Description:
1,3-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 4-hydroxy-, 1-methyl ester, commonly known as methyl 4-hydroxyphthalate, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure featuring two carboxylic acid groups and a hydroxyl group. This compound is a derivative of phthalic acid, where one of the carboxylic acid groups is esterified with a methyl group. It typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water. The presence of both hydroxyl and carboxylic acid functional groups contributes to its potential applications in the synthesis of polymers, plasticizers, and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, it exhibits properties such as moderate thermal stability and can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and acylation. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Overall, its unique structure and functional groups make it a valuable compound in organic synthesis and material science.
