CAS 83-40-9: 3-Methylsalicylic acid
Description:3-Methylsalicylic acid, with the CAS number 83-40-9, is an aromatic compound that belongs to the class of salicylic acids. It features a methyl group attached to the third carbon of the salicylic acid structure, which consists of a benzene ring with both a hydroxyl (-OH) and a carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional group. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and ether, but less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic methyl group. 3-Methylsalicylic acid exhibits properties characteristic of phenolic compounds, including potential antioxidant activity. It can participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and acylation, making it useful in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical applications. Additionally, it may have biological significance, as derivatives of salicylic acid are known for their roles in plant defense mechanisms and potential therapeutic effects in humans. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
