2,5-Dimethoxybenzenebutanoic acid, with the CAS number 1083-11-0, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of both methoxy groups and a carboxylic acid functional group. The compound features a benzene ring substituted at the 2 and 5 positions with methoxy (-OCH3) groups, which influence its chemical reactivity and solubility. The butanoic acid moiety contributes to its acidic properties and enhances its potential for forming esters or amides. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water may be limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. 2,5-Dimethoxybenzenebutanoic acid may be utilized in various chemical syntheses and research applications, particularly in the fields of medicinal chemistry and organic synthesis, where its unique structure can serve as a building block for more complex molecules. Safety data should be consulted before handling, as with all chemical substances.

4-(2,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)butyric acid

4-(2,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)butyric acid is an organic compound that is found in benzophenones. It is synthesized by the reaction of stannous chloride and 2,5-dimethoxyphenol. This compound is a white solid that exists as two different stereoisomers: the alpha form and the beta form. The alpha form can be converted to the beta form by heating it with acetic acid or hydrochloric acid. 4-(2,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)butyric acid can be used as a chemical intermediate for other compounds. The equilibrium between these two forms is reversible, so it can be converted back and forth at any time.
