Description

Ethyl 2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)propanoate hydrolyzes to 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and propanoic acid. It is a toxic chemical that has been shown to have a high level of toxicity in animal studies. The hydroxy group (-OH) on the chemical structure is hydrated, making it easier for the chemical to penetrate tissues and cells. This compound also has a catalase enzyme activity, which may lead to its toxicity. Ethyl 2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)propanoate has been used as a pesticide and food chemistry agent. It is toxic to organisms such as fungi, bacteria, and algae. It is also enantioselective, which means that it can be used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals with desired properties.
