2-(2,6-Dimethoxyphenyl)acetic acid

CAS: 15561-50-9

2-(2,6-Dimethoxyphenyl)acetic acid is a phenolic compound that can be found in the urine of people suffering from alcaptonuria. This disease is caused by the accumulation of homogentisic acid in the body and results in abnormalities such as neural tube defects. 2-(2,6-Dimethoxyphenyl)acetic acid is formed during the conversion of resorcinol to dihydroxybenzene by demethylation. It also has low yields when synthesized from methyl ester and benzene, which makes it difficult to produce synthetically.
