CAS 89525-75-7

Benzoic acid, 2-(cyanomethoxy)-3-methyl-, methyl ester

Description:

Benzoic acid, 2-(cyanomethoxy)-3-methyl-, methyl ester, identified by CAS number 89525-75-7, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and the presence of both a benzoic acid moiety and a cyanomethoxy group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but its solubility in water is limited due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the cyanomethoxy group suggests potential reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions. This compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its stability under standard conditions is generally good, although it may be sensitive to strong acids or bases. As with many organic compounds, appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling it, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
