Description

3-Methoxyphenylacetic acid is a molecule that belongs to the class of fatty acids. It can be synthesized by the Friedel-Crafts reaction between 3-methoxyphenol and acetic anhydride in an organic solvent. The molecule has been shown to inhibit the growth of k562 cells and subtilis, which are both bacteria, at low concentrations. 3-Methoxyphenylacetic acid is also used as a reagent for solid phase synthesis of organic molecules. Immobilization of this molecule is done by covalent linkage to silica gel, polystyrene, or other insoluble supports. This immobilization prevents the loss of 3-methoxyphenylacetic acid during reaction conditions such as heating, vacuum distillation, or exposure to air. 3-Methoxyphenylacetic acid has been shown to have a diameter of approximately 2 nm and hydrogen bonding capability with anhyd
