4-Ethoxy-2,6-dimethylbenzoic acid

Description:
4-Ethoxy-2,6-dimethylbenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by its benzoic acid structure with specific substituents. It features an ethoxy group (-OEt) at the para position and two methyl groups (-CH3) at the meta positions relative to the carboxylic acid (-COOH) group. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the ethoxy and methyl groups influences its physical and chemical properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and reactivity. It may exhibit moderate acidity due to the carboxylic acid functional group, which can participate in hydrogen bonding and affect its interactions with other molecules. 4-Ethoxy-2,6-dimethylbenzoic acid is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or other organic compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential hazards associated with this substance.
