Benzoic acid, 4-methyl-, 2-acetyl-4-chloro-5-methylphenyl ester

Description:

Benzoic acid, 4-methyl-, 2-acetyl-4-chloro-5-methylphenyl ester, identified by the CAS number 88952-18-5, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. This compound features a benzoic acid moiety with a methyl group at the para position and an acetyl group at the ortho position relative to the ester linkage. The presence of a chlorine atom at the para position further modifies its chemical properties. Typically, esters like this one exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents and may have limited solubility in water due to their hydrophobic aromatic structure. The compound may display biological activity, making it of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its synthesis often involves esterification reactions, and it may be analyzed using techniques such as NMR spectroscopy or mass spectrometry to confirm its structure. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential toxicity, as with any chemical substance.
