Description

Desylbenzoate is a hydroxy methyl ester that can be synthesized by reacting ethyl benzoate with methanol and sodium hydroxide. This reaction product can be used in the synthesis of polymers for magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Desylbenzoate has been shown to inhibit the growth of carcinoma cells and was found to have a molecular weight of 210. Desylbenzoate also reacts with nucleophiles such as hydroxide ion, giving the corresponding carbonyl group. The carbonyl group is then converted into an ester, which can react with other molecules, such as butanol, giving an ethyl ester.
