2,3-Dimethylbenzoic acid, a crystalline solid, demonstrates insolubility in water but readily dissolves in organic solvents like acetic acid, ethyl acetate, and benzene. Serving as a reagent, it acts as a molecular ion in mass spectrometry, offering the capability to identify aliphatic or oxygenated carboxylic acids due to its volatile nature. It′s instrumental in recognizing methyl groups and the conjugate acid of an ester. 2,3-Dimethylbenzoic acid is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various agrochemicals, and polymer production. It can also be used as a substitute for other aromatic carboxylic acids in synthetic applications. This compound is advantageous as a reference standard in analytical chemistry, providing a benchmark for comparative analysis.
