Methyl 4-ethoxybenzoate

Methyl 4-ethoxybenzoate is a chemical compound that is used in the production of polymers, resins, and plastics. It has been shown to be an efficient scavenger for tannins and other reactive oxygen species. Methyl 4-ethoxybenzoate has been used for the treatment of cavities by filling them with this compound and can be used as a sealant for resin composites. Methyl 4-ethoxybenzoate is not soluble in water and must be recycled. The methyl group on the benzoic acid portion of the molecule can form hydrogen bonds with carboxyl groups on polysaccharides such as cellulose or hemicellulose, resulting in interactions between these groups. These interactions are stronger than those found between carboxyl groups and phenolic compounds. This interaction has been shown to increase with increasing pH values, suggesting that it may be useful for extracting tannins from coniferous trees at low temperatures.
