Application

Ethyl 3-methoxybenzoate serves as a versatile intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty fragrances. Its methoxy and ester functionalities make it valuable for constructing complex molecules via coupling reactions or hydrolysis. Researchers utilize it as a precursor for anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents due to its aromatic scaffold. In material science, it acts as a plasticizer or solvent additive for polymers. Additionally, it finds niche applications in flavor and fragrance formulations for its mild, sweet-aromatic profile.
