Description

4-Acetoxybenzoic acid is a hydroxylated benzoic acid that has been used as an intermediate in the synthesis of 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid. 4-Acetoxybenzoic acid is a metabolite of the amino acid picolinic acid, which is found in plants. It has been shown to have binding constants with human serum albumin and human erythrocytes, making it useful as a reagent for pharmacological studies. A kinetic study of 4-acetoxybenzoic acid has been performed using vitro assays on rat liver microsomes to determine its reaction mechanism. The product of this reaction is p-hydroxybenzoic acid, which can be converted into 4-benzoyloxybenzoic acid by hydrolysis. This compound can also be produced by treating fatty acids with potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide in methanol, followed by hydroly
