Answer
![5-[(4-Carboxybenzyl)oxy]isophthalic acid](https://static.chemtradehub.com/structs/105/1050912-62-3-2925.webp "5-[(4-Carboxybenzyl)oxy]isophthalic acid")
5-[(4-Carboxybenzyl)oxy]isophthalic acid is synthesized through the condensation of 4-benzyloxyisophthalic acid with carboxylic acid. This reaction is typically catalyzed by a strong acid such as sulfuric acid. The yield is usually around 85-90% with good selectivity. The process is carried out at elevated temperatures, and the product is purified by recrystallization from an appropriate solvent.
