(2-Ethoxy-4-formylphenoxy)acetic acid(CAT: R036036) is an aromatic carboxylic acid derivative characterized by a phenyl ring substituted with an ethoxy group at the 2-position, a formyl group at the 4-position, and a carboxymethyl ether linkage. This multifunctional molecule is valued as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. The aldehyde group offers a reactive site for condensation reactions, such as Schiff base formation, while the carboxylic acid moiety supports further derivatization or conjugation. Its structural features enable selective functionalization and incorporation into biologically active scaffolds.
