Benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-3-(2-methyl-2-propenyl)-, methyl ester

Description:

Benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-3-(2-methyl-2-propenyl)-, methyl ester, commonly known as methyl 2-hydroxy-3-(2-methylprop-2-enyl)benzoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and aromatic structure. It features a benzoic acid backbone with a hydroxyl group and an isoprenyl side chain, contributing to its unique properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts some polar characteristics, while the aromatic ring enhances its stability and reactivity. Methyl esters like this one are often used in the synthesis of various chemical intermediates and can serve as flavoring agents or fragrances in the food and cosmetic industries. Additionally, its structural features may confer biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
