α-Hydroxy-β-methylbenzenepropanoic acid

Description:
α-Hydroxy-β-methylbenzenepropanoic acid, also known by its CAS number 91061-47-1, is an organic compound characterized by its structural features that include a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a propanoic acid moiety attached to a benzene ring. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with both alcohols and carboxylic acids, such as the ability to form hydrogen bonds, which can influence its solubility in polar solvents. It is likely to be a white to off-white crystalline solid at room temperature. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its potential as a chiral molecule, which may exhibit optical activity. This compound may be of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and organic synthesis, due to its functional groups that can participate in further chemical reactions. Additionally, its structural characteristics suggest potential applications in the development of biologically active compounds or as intermediates in synthetic pathways. However, specific reactivity and stability details would depend on the conditions under which it is used.
