Description

Methyl 4-(dimethylamino)benzoate is a fluorescent probe that emits light at a wavelength of 360 nm when it absorbs ultraviolet radiation. It can be used in solvents to measure the acidity of solutions. The fluorescence properties are due to the dipole interaction between the trifluoromethyl group and the carbonyl group. The constant is dependent on the solvent, but it is typically around 3.2 x 10-2 M/cm at 25°C. The solution has a greenish-yellow color, which can be attributed to its absorption in the visible region of the spectrum. This chemical also has properties as an organic solvent and can be used as a reaction medium for electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions.
