Beschreibung

4-Ethoxysalicylic acid is a phosphorus oxychloride derivative that is used as an intermediate in the production of xanthones. Xanthones are used in the manufacture of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and fragrances. This compound also reacts with zinc chloride to give 4-ethoxysalicylate, which is an oxidizing agent. 4-Ethoxysalicylic acid has low toxicity and can be filtered from a reaction mixture by filtration or recrystallization. It can act as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, which may contribute to its antidepressant properties. A hydrophobic molecule, 4-ethoxysalicylic acid will not dissolve in water but can be dissolved in organic solvents such as alcohols or ethers. It also has a high affinity for blood proteins and will bind to them readily. This property makes it useful as an anti-coagulant drug for treating depression and other mental illness.
