4-Phenoxybenzoic acid (Cat No.: R021895) is an aromatic carboxylic acid composed of a benzoic acid core substituted with a phenoxy group at the para (4) position. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. This compound is commonly used as an intermediate in the synthesis of herbicides, pharmaceuticals, and dyes. The phenoxy substitution enhances its lipophilicity and electronic properties, making it valuable in the design of bioactive molecules and specialty chemicals.
