:5-Methylsalicylic acid
Description:
5-Methylsalicylic acid, with the CAS number 89-56-5, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of salicylic acids, which are characterized by the presence of both a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) on a benzene ring. This compound features a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the fifth carbon of the salicylic acid structure, which influences its chemical properties and reactivity. It is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water. 5-Methylsalicylic acid is known for its potential applications in pharmaceuticals and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Its structural modifications can affect its biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Additionally, it may exhibit antioxidant properties and has been studied for its role in various biochemical pathways. As with many organic acids, it can participate in acid-base reactions and may form salts or esters under appropriate conditions.
