• Description: 2-Hydroxy-5-methoxybenzyl alcohol (2HMB) is a methide that is used as an inductor in the synthesis of Taxol. 2HMB has been shown to induce apoptosis in MCF-7 cells and to promote the hydration of oxacycles. It can also be used in cancer research as a kinetic probe for the hydration of oxacycles. 2HMB activates MCF-7 cells and induces apoptosis, which may be due to its nucleophilic properties.
