Home Chemistry Organic Building Blocks Esters 2-Hydroxyethyl Benzoate
These compounds have the same murcko framework: benzene,and at least 1 kind of functional groups( —COOCH2CH2OH).
Ester Hydrolysis: Under basic conditions (e.g., in the presence of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide), 2-hydroxyethyl benzoate can undergo hydrolysis, forming benzoic acid and 2-hydroxyethanol (ethylene glycol).
Esterification: Under acidic conditions, 2-hydroxyethyl benzoate can undergo esterification reactions with 【alcohols|https://www.ambeed.com/alcohols.html】 to form other 【esters|https://www.ambeed.com/esters.html】.
Oxidation: In the presence of strong oxidizing agents, the hydroxyethyl group in 2-hydroxyethyl benzoate can potentially be oxidized to a carbonyl group. However, the specific conditions and reagents needed for this reaction would depend on the desired outcome.
