CAS 93-40-3

(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)acetic acid

Description:

(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)acetic acid, with the CAS number 93-40-3, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of two methoxy groups (-OCH3) attached to a phenyl ring at the 3 and 4 positions. This compound features an acetic acid functional group (-COOH) that contributes to its acidic properties. It is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the methoxy groups enhances its lipophilicity and can influence its biological activity. (3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)acetic acid is of interest in various fields, including medicinal chemistry, where it may exhibit anti-inflammatory or analgesic properties. Its synthesis often involves the methylation of phenolic compounds followed by carboxylation. As with many organic acids, it should be handled with care, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes.

3,4-Dimethoxyphenylacetic acid

CAS: 93-40-3

3,4-Dimethoxyphenylacetic acid is an aromatic acid that has antimicrobial properties. It is used as a food additive for the preservation of meat and poultry. The 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl group in this molecule is an intramolecular hydrogen acceptor. This property allows it to undergo transfer reactions with other molecules, such as protocatechuic acid and lignin. 3,4-Dimethoxyphenylacetic acid also inhibits cellular physiology and can be used in the treatment of bacteria in biological systems. The hydroxyl group can form an acidic compound by reacting with a proton donor, such as water or trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). This reaction may be catalyzed by the enzyme cytochrome P450 reductase.
