HazMat Fee

An item is classified as a dangerous good if our website displays Hazardous Material (HazMat) information for it. There is a HazMat shipping fee for each item that qualifies as a dangerous good, except in the following scenarios:

The shipment is processed through FedEx Ground under the Limited Quantity option.

Each bottle is packed as an Excepted Quantity, with a maximum of 1g for items in class 6.1 packing group I or II, and up to 25g for all other hazardous materials.

If shipping is charged to your FedEx account, the HazMat fee will be billed directly by the courier. Otherwise, the fee will be included on your invoice. To help you avoid the HazMat fee, we can package a 5g order of a class 6.1 packing group I or II material as five separate 1g units, and a 100g order of any other dangerous good as four 25g units. This packaging adjustment will be made unless you instruct otherwise on your purchase order. Below, you will find the fee schedule from FedEx for handling hazardous materials.

Hazmat Ground shipping	$50.00+
Inaccessible (Haz class 6.1 or 9), Domestic	$68.00+

Description

Methyl 4-hydroxy-2-methylbenzoate features a phenolic hydroxyl group flanked by a methyl substituent and an ester moiety, enabling selective derivatization in synthetic sequences. This ortho-substituted scaffold offers enhanced stability under standard conditions while maintaining reactivity for coupling reactions. The molecule integrates readily into complex architectures requiring polar yet lipophilic functional handles.

Application

Methyl 4-hydroxy-2-methylbenzoate serves as a versatile building block in synthetic organic chemistry, enabling efficient access to substituted phenolic scaffolds. The molecule combines a phenolic hydroxyl group with an ester functionality, allowing for selective derivatization via etherification, acylation, or metal-catalyzed coupling reactions. Its bench-stable nature and compatibility with common protecting group strategies facilitate use in multi-step synthesis, particularly in the construction of bioactive heterocycles and pharmaceutical intermediates.
