Benzoic acid, 2-(aminomethyl)-, also known as 2-(aminomethyl)benzoic acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of both a benzoic acid moiety and an aminomethyl group. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring with a carboxylic acid (-COOH) group and an aminomethyl (-CH2NH2) substituent, which contributes to its unique properties. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the presence of the carboxylic acid and amino groups that can engage in hydrogen bonding. It exhibits acidic properties due to the carboxylic acid group, allowing it to donate protons in solution. Additionally, the amino group can act as a base, enabling it to accept protons. This dual functionality makes it useful in various chemical reactions and applications, including pharmaceuticals and organic synthesis. Its CAS number, 25672-97-3, is a unique identifier that facilitates its identification in chemical databases and regulatory frameworks.
