2-Methylresorcinol, technical

CAS: 608-25-3

2-Methylresorcinol, technical is the sodium salt of 2-methylresorcinol. It has been shown to be chemically stable at high temperatures and can be used in magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The nmr spectra of 2-methylresorcinol are different from those of other compounds. It is a molecule with a carbonyl group and one methyl group that reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce a reaction product with a chlorine atom, which reacts with trifluoroacetic acid or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid to produce an activated intermediate that can react with a second molecule to form another reaction product. This mechanism may be useful in the synthesis of anti-tuberculosis drugs.
