Chemical Properties
2-Methoxybenzoic acid is odorless.
Chemical Properties
White to off-white crystalline powder
Uses
2-Methoxybenzoic acid was used as internal standard during quantification of free and conjugated salicylic acid in tomato (
Lycopersicon esculentum) cells by HPLC. It was also employed in the synthesis of pthalides.
Uses
2-Methoxybenzoic Acid is used in the preparation of benzohydroxamic acids as potent and selective anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) agents.
Definition
ChEBI: A methoxybenzoic acid that is the methyl ether of salicylic acid.
General Description
2-Methoxybenzoic acid was added as carbon supplement in the culture medium of
Moraxella osloensis. Photophysics of 2-methoxybenzoic acid has been investigated using both the time-correlated single photon counting and the fluorescence up-conversion techniques.
