Benzoic acid, 2-(methoxymethyl)-

Description:

Benzoic acid, 2-(methoxymethyl)-, also known by its CAS number 88550-19-0, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a benzoic acid moiety with a methoxymethyl substituent at the ortho position. This compound typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. The methoxymethyl group contributes to its chemical reactivity, allowing for potential applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemical compounds. Benzoic acid derivatives are known for their antimicrobial properties, and this compound may exhibit similar biological activities. Its melting point, boiling point, and specific reactivity can vary based on environmental conditions and purity. As with many organic acids, it can participate in acid-base reactions and may form salts or esters under appropriate conditions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.

2-(Methoxymethyl)benzoic acid

CAS: 88550-19-0

2-(Methoxymethyl)benzoic acid is a natural product that has been shown to have antibacterial activity. It is an ethylene precursor and is synthesized by the alkaline hydrolysis of 2-hydroxybenzoic acid. 2-(Methoxymethyl)benzoic acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria, such as E. coli, in the presence of hexanoic or octanoic acids. This compound also inhibits the growth of other bacterial species, including lamiaceae and eugenol, at low concentrations. The inhibitory effect may be due to its ability to bind to hydrophobic sites on bacterial cell membranes. 2-(Methoxymethyl)benzoic acid acts as a phenolic compound with a hydrocarbon group.
