2-Hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid

Description:

2-Hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid, with the CAS number 3187-19-7, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of benzoic acids. It features a benzoic acid core substituted with two methoxy groups at the 4 and 6 positions and a hydroxyl group at the 2 position. This compound is typically characterized by its white crystalline solid form and exhibits solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic methoxy groups. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its acidity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and acylation. Additionally, 2-Hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and biochemical research. Its structural features suggest potential applications in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules and in the development of agrochemicals or pharmaceuticals. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, following appropriate safety protocols.
