CAS 90721-40-7

Benzoic acid, 3-(methylthio)-, methyl ester

Description:

Benzoic acid, 3-(methylthio)-, methyl ester, with the CAS number 90721-40-7, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and a methylthio substituent on the benzene ring. This compound features a benzoic acid backbone, where the carboxylic acid group is esterified with methanol, resulting in a methyl ester. The presence of the methylthio group introduces sulfur into the structure, which can influence its chemical reactivity and properties. Typically, compounds of this nature exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents and may have limited solubility in water due to their hydrophobic aromatic character. They can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and ester hydrolysis. Additionally, such compounds may possess biological activity, making them of interest in fields like pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The specific characteristics, such as melting point, boiling point, and spectral data, would require empirical measurement or literature reference for precise values.
