[1,1'-Biphenyl]-2-carboxylic acid, 3-methyl-

Description:

[1,1'-Biphenyl]-2-carboxylic acid, 3-methyl- is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond. The presence of a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) at the 2-position and a methyl group (-CH3) at the 3-position on one of the phenyl rings contributes to its chemical reactivity and properties. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water may be limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the biphenyl moiety. It can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and acylation, making it useful in organic synthesis. Additionally, the compound may exhibit biological activity, which can be of interest in pharmaceutical research. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
