3-Methylbenzoic acid

Description:

3-Methylbenzoic acid, also known as m-toluic acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by a methyl group and a carboxylic acid functional group attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C8H8O2, and it features a melting point that typically falls within a moderate range, indicating its solid state at room temperature. The compound is slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic aromatic structure. 3-Methylbenzoic acid exhibits typical acid properties, including the ability to donate protons in solution, which contributes to its reactivity in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. It is often used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other chemical compounds. Additionally, its structural characteristics allow it to participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, making it a valuable compound in synthetic organic chemistry. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.

3-Toluic acid is a colorless liquid that is soluble in water and organic solvents. 3-Toluic acid is an inhibitor of bacterial growth that has been shown to be effective against certain strains of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 3-Toluic acid inhibits the growth of bacteria by reacting with a hydrogen bond in their ribosomal RNA to block the production of proteins vital for cell division. It also disrupts the normal metabolic pathways of bacteria by inhibiting microbial metabolism.
