3,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester

Description:

3,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester, with the CAS number 2150-44-9, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure featuring two hydroxyl (-OH) groups and a methoxy (-OCH3) group attached to a benzoic acid framework. This compound is a methyl ester derivative of 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, which contributes to its solubility in organic solvents. It typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid. The presence of hydroxyl groups imparts polar characteristics, making it capable of forming hydrogen bonds, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. This compound is of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and biochemistry, due to its potential biological activities, such as antioxidant properties. Additionally, it may serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis or as a reagent in chemical reactions. Proper handling and storage are essential, as with many organic compounds, to ensure safety and stability.

3,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester

CAS: 2150-44-9

3,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester is a potent tyrosinase inhibitor that has been shown to be effective in inhibiting the production of melanin. 3,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester is an active ingredient in skin lightening products and has been shown to be more potent than kojic acid, arbutin and ascorbic acid. The reaction mechanism of 3,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester is stepwise with hydroxybenzoic acid (HBA) being the first substrate. HBA reacts with iron oxides to form a ferric hydroxide intermediate that undergoes gelation reactions with chloride ions. This results in a molecule containing three ether linkages, which are responsible for its inhibitory activity on the enzyme tyrosinase.
