2-hydroxy-3,4-dimethylbenzoic acid

Description:
2-Hydroxy-3,4-dimethylbenzoic acid, also known as salicylic acid derivative, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of both hydroxyl (-OH) and carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional groups. This compound features a benzene ring substituted with two methyl groups at the 3 and 4 positions and a hydroxyl group at the 2 position, contributing to its unique chemical properties. It is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts acidity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and acylation. This compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. Additionally, its structural features suggest potential for use in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances.
