2-(2-Phenylethoxy)acetic acid

Description:

2-(2-Phenylethoxy)acetic acid, with the CAS number 81228-03-7, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a phenylethoxy group attached to an acetic acid moiety. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether 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. This compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and biochemical research. Its derivatives can potentially serve as intermediates in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
