2-Methoxy-6-methylbenzoic acid (CAS: 19478-58-7) is an aromatic carboxylic acid intermediate synthesized via selective ortho-lithiation or Vilsmeier-Haack formylation followed by oxidation. Its molecular formula is C8H8O3. This compound serves as a critical building block in fine chemical manufacturing due to its specific steric and electronic properties.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible oxidizers. Wear appropriate PPE including gloves and eye protection during handling to prevent skin irritation and respiratory exposure.
