Benzoic acid,2-hydroxy-3-(1-oxopropyl)-, methyl ester

Description:
Benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-3-(1-oxopropyl)-, methyl ester, commonly known as methyl 2-hydroxy-3-(1-oxopropyl)benzoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and a benzoic acid backbone. It features a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a ketone group (C=O) within its structure, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic ring. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its potential for hydrogen bonding, influencing its physical properties and reactivity. Methyl 2-hydroxy-3-(1-oxopropyl)benzoate may be used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis, in the production of fragrances, or as a potential pharmaceutical compound. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
