Chemical Properties Of 4-tert-Butylbenzoic acid Cas 98-73-7

4-tert-Butylbenzoic acid is a commonly used organic synthesis intermediate, an aromatic carboxylic acid bearing a tert-butyl group and a carboxyl group on the benzene ring. It appears as a white crystalline powder with the molecular formula C₁₁H₁₄O₂ and molecular weight 178.23. Exhibiting typical carboxylic acid reactivity, it undergoes esterification, amidation, reduction, and decarboxylation reactions, forming salts with bases. The tert-butyl structure is stable and resistant to substitution reactions, resulting in overall mild chemical properties.
