Benzeneacetic acid, α-hydroxy-2-methyl- (CAS 85589-35-1) is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of both a carboxylic acid and a hydroxyl group. This compound features a benzene ring attached to an acetic acid moiety, with an additional hydroxyl group on the alpha carbon adjacent to the carboxylic acid. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its solubility in polar solvents, while the benzene ring provides hydrophobic characteristics. This compound may exhibit moderate acidity due to the carboxylic acid group and can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and oxidation. Its potential applications may span across pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
