3-(dimethylamino)-4-methoxybenzoic acid hydrochloride; CAS No.: 1253850-61-1; 3-(dimethylamino)-4-methoxybenzoic acid hydrochloride. PROPERTIES: This compound is a white crystalline powder with molecular formula C10H12ClNO3. It has molecular weight of 229.66 g/mol and melting point around 210-215 C. The substance is moderately soluble in water and ethanol but insoluble in non-polar solvents. Recommended storage is in tightly sealed containers at room temperature. Being a hydrochloride salt of amine, it presents typical hazards including respiratory tract irritation; use in well-ventilated areas is recommended. APPLICATIONS: In pharmaceutical manufacturing, this compound serves as intermediate for producing antidepressant medications. The dimethylamino group contributes to serotonin reuptake inhibition while the methoxy substituent influences receptor binding selectivity (European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry). In materials science, it acts as building block for producing conductive polymers where the amine group is oxidized to form conjugated systems (Synthetic Metals). Additionally, it functions as starting material for producing fluorescent dyes where the amino group is modified with fluorophores through acylation reactions (Dyes and Pigments). These applications exploit its combination of amine, methoxy, and carboxylic acid functionalities for constructing pharmaceuticals and functional materials.
