Description

3,5-Dimethoxy-4-methylbenzoic acid is an organic compound that has a carboxylate group and a long chain. It is synthesized from 3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid through the borohydride reduction of the primary alcohols to produce a mixture of 2,3,4-trimethoxybenzoic acid and 3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid. The nitro group on the phenolic ring can be reduced to the corresponding amine with sodium borohydride. 3,5-Dimethoxy-4-methylbenzoic acid has been found in natural products such as Cephalotaxus fortunei and Acacia confusa.
