CAS 577-68-4
:4,5-Dimethoxyphthalic acid
Description:
4,5-Dimethoxyphthalic acid, with the CAS number 577-68-4, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of phthalic acids. It features two methoxy (-OCH3) groups attached to the aromatic ring at the 4 and 5 positions, which influences its chemical properties and reactivity. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is sparingly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. The presence of the methoxy groups enhances its electron-donating characteristics, which can affect its behavior in various chemical reactions, including esterification and acylation. 4,5-Dimethoxyphthalic acid is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other chemical compounds. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Proper handling and storage are essential due to its potential reactivity and the need for safety precautions when working with chemical substances.

2-Carboxy-4,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid
CAS:2-Carboxy-4,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid (2CMB) is a low molecular weight compound that is synthesized by the trimethylation of tylophorine. Its pentamethoxy derivative, 2CMB penta-O-methyl ester, can be found in ipecac. The acetylation of 2CMB leads to 4-hydroxybenzoic acid as a residue. Thermophilic bacteria produce 2CMB from 4-hydroxybenzoic acid through decarboxylation and oxidation. This metabolic product is also found in the fermentation broth of some strains of yeast.
