Methyl 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate

Description:

Methyl 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate, also known as methyl 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure featuring two hydroxyl (-OH) groups and a methoxy (-OCH3) group attached to a benzoate framework. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic core. Methyl 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate exhibits antioxidant properties, making it of interest in various applications, including cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Its chemical structure allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and oxidation. Additionally, it may serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Proper safety protocols should be followed when working with this substance in a laboratory setting.
