Benzoic acid, 2-ethoxy-6-methyl-

Description:
Benzoic acid, 2-ethoxy-6-methyl- is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by its benzoic acid backbone with an ethoxy group and a methyl group positioned at the 2 and 6 positions, respectively. This compound typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is known for its moderate solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The presence of the ethoxy group enhances its hydrophobic characteristics, influencing its reactivity and interaction with other substances. Benzoic acid derivatives, including this compound, often exhibit antimicrobial properties, making them useful in various applications, including food preservation and pharmaceuticals. The molecular structure contributes to its acidity, with the carboxylic acid functional group being responsible for its acidic behavior. Additionally, the compound may undergo typical reactions associated with carboxylic acids, such as esterification and neutralization. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
