Benzoic acid,2-hydroxy-6-methyl-, methyl ester

Description:

Benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-6-methyl-, methyl ester, commonly known as methyl 2-hydroxy-6-methylbenzoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group derived from benzoic acid. It features a methyl group and a hydroxyl group attached to the benzene ring, which contributes to its properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. Methyl 2-hydroxy-6-methylbenzoate is often used in the synthesis of various chemical compounds and may serve as a flavoring agent or fragrance in the food and cosmetic industries. Additionally, it exhibits potential biological activities, including antimicrobial properties. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, following appropriate safety guidelines to avoid exposure or environmental contamination.

Methyl anthranilate is a bioactive molecule that belongs to the group of methyl 2-hydroxybenzoates. It has been shown to be effective against formicidae and other insects in bioassays. The chemical composition of methyl anthranilate includes a hydroxyl group and an aromatic ring, which may allow for a diverse range of chemical structures. Methyl anthranilate is synthesized by the non-enzymatic condensation of formaldehyde with 2-hydroxybenzoic acid. This molecule has been used as an insecticide in model organisms such as Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans.
