CAS 940-64-7

(4-Methylphenoxy)acetic acid

Description:

(4-Methylphenoxy)acetic acid, with the CAS number 940-64-7, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and functional groups. It features a phenoxy group, which is a phenyl ring (specifically, a para-substituted methyl group) attached to an acetic acid moiety. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic component. It exhibits properties typical of carboxylic acids, including the ability to donate protons (H+) in solution, which contributes to its acidity. The presence of the methyl group on the phenyl ring can influence its reactivity and interactions with biological systems, making it of interest in various applications, including herbicides and pharmaceuticals. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Overall, (4-Methylphenoxy)acetic acid is a versatile compound with significant relevance in chemical research and industry.
