4-Ethoxy-2-hydroxybenzoic acid

Description:

4-Ethoxy-2-hydroxybenzoic acid, also known as ethyl 2-hydroxy-4-carboxybenzoate, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure featuring a hydroxyl group and a carboxylic acid group. It is a derivative of salicylic acid, where an ethoxy group is substituted at the para position relative to the hydroxyl group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic ethoxy group. The presence of both the hydroxyl and carboxylic acid functional groups imparts acidic properties, making it a weak acid. It is often used in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, as well as in research applications. Additionally, its structural features may contribute to its potential biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.

4-Ethoxysalicylic acid

CAS: 10435-55-9

4-Ethoxysalicylic acid is a phosphorus oxychloride derivative that is used as an intermediate in the production of xanthones. Xanthones are used in the manufacture of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and fragrances. This compound also reacts with zinc chloride to give 4-ethoxysalicylate, which is an oxidizing agent. 4-Ethoxysalicylic acid has low toxicity and can be filtered from a reaction mixture by filtration or recrystallization. It can act as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, which may contribute to its antidepressant properties. A hydrophobic molecule, 4-ethoxysalicylic acid will not dissolve in water but can be dissolved in organic solvents such as alcohols or ethers. It also has a high affinity for blood proteins and will bind to them readily. This property makes it useful as an anti-coagulant drug for treating depression and other mental illness.
