Description

2,6-Dihydroxy-4-methylbenzoic acid copper salt is an organic compound with a skeleton of two benzene rings. The molecule contains a chloride ion coordinated to the copper atom and a methyl group adjacent to the copper atom. This compound has significant cytotoxicity against human cancer cells. It is also an endophytic fungus found in plants that produces ethyl esters of 2,6-dihydroxy-4-methylbenzoic acid copper salt. The chemical structures of this compound are shown in Figure 1 below: Figure 1 The reaction products are 2,6-dichloroquinone and benzoic acid. The reaction solution is a dark red color due to the presence of free quinone groups. This compound has been synthesized using Friedel-Crafts reactions, which were carried out in chloroform and dichloromethane at temperatures ranging from -78°C to room temperature for up to 12
