Product Information

• Name: 2,4-Dimethoxybenzoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,4-Dimethoxybenzoic acid is a phenolic compound that has been shown to bind to the ferrocene carboxylate of protocatechuic acid. The resulting complex was shown to be able to react with chloride ions in an acylation reaction. The kinetic study showed that the rate of reaction increased with increasing concentration of 2,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid. The protonation of 2,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid also increases its ability to react with chloride ions. This acidic compound can also react with amines and other compounds containing nitrogen in a similar manner as acetic anhydride. Addition of alkali hydrolysis may cause the cleavage of the hydrogen bond between 2,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid and protocatechuic acid, releasing 2,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid and protocatechuic acid.
