Methyl 3,4-dimethoxybenzoate

Description:

Methyl 3,4-dimethoxybenzoate is an organic compound classified as an ester, specifically a methyl ester of 3,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid. It features a benzene ring substituted with two methoxy groups (-OCH3) at the 3 and 4 positions, along with a methoxycarbonyl group (-COOCH3). This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Methyl 3,4-dimethoxybenzoate is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as a building block in the production of various pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and agrochemicals. Its chemical structure allows for potential applications in medicinal chemistry, particularly in the development of compounds with biological activity. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, following appropriate safety protocols to avoid exposure or environmental contamination.

Methyl 3,4-dimethoxybenzoate

CAS: 2150-38-1

Methyl 3,4-dimethoxybenzoate is an acetate extract that has been shown to inhibit tyrosinase activity. This compound also has a potent inhibitory effect on the production of p-hydroxybenzoic acid. Methyl 3,4-dimethoxybenzoate can be synthesized from protocatechuic acid and methoxy groups. It is a chemical reaction involving three steps: condensation, dehydration, and reduction. Tyrosinase is an enzyme in the melanin biosynthetic pathway that catalyzes the conversion of tyrosine to dopaquinone. Tyrosinase activity can be inhibited by methyl 3,4-dimethoxybenzoate through competitive inhibition or by its ability to reduce the availability of substrate for this enzyme.
