p-Toluic acid

Description:

p-Toluic acid, also known as 4-methylbenzoic acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by a methyl group and a carboxylic acid group attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C8H8O2, and it features a melting point typically around room temperature, making it a solid at ambient conditions. p-Toluic acid is a white crystalline substance with a characteristic odor and is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water. It is commonly used in the synthesis of various chemical compounds, including pharmaceuticals and polymers, and serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis. The compound exhibits typical acid properties, including the ability to donate protons in solution, and can participate in various chemical reactions such as esterification and amidation. Additionally, p-toluic acid can be found in some natural sources and is utilized in the production of certain dyes and fragrances. Its safety profile indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.

4-Toluic acid

CAS: 99-94-5

4-Toluic acid is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CH3C6H2O2. It is a white solid that is soluble in water and alcohol. 4-Toluic acid can be produced by oxidation of benzoate, which is a reaction catalyzed by light or by using a catalyst such as trifluoroacetic acid. The reaction mechanism begins with the formation of the intramolecular hydrogen and subsequent oxidation to form an organic radical. This organic radical then reacts with oxygen to produce 4-toluic acid. 4-Toluic acid has been shown to have biochemical properties such as enzyme inhibition, DNA cleavage, and protein denaturation. The coordination geometry for this molecule is octahedral, and its redox potentials are -0.27 V (in acidic solution) and -1.06 V (in alkaline solution).
