Chemical Properties
white to beige crystals or crystalline powder
Uses
Methyl 4-aminobenzoate was used in the syntheses of guanidine alkaloids, (±)-martinelline and (±)-martinellic acid by a protic acid catalyzed hetero Diels-Alder coupling reaction with N-Cbz 2-pyrroline.
Uses
Methyl 4-aminobenzoate is used in the synthesis of guanidine alkaloids, (±)-martinelline and (±)-martinellic acid by a protic acid catalyzed hetero Diels-Alder coupling reaction with N-Cbz 2-pyrroline. It is also used in organic synthesis and acts as a dye intermediate. Further, it is used to prepare 4-(2-methyl-4-oxo-4H-quinazolin-3-yl)-benzoic acid methyl ester by reacting with 2-acetylamino-benzoic acid.
General Description
The catalytic oxidation of methyl 4-aminobenzoate by hydrogen peroxide was studied.
Synthesis
Methyl 4-aminobenzoate is a carboxylic acid ester derivative that can be obtained by reducing the nitro group from methyl p-nitrobenzoate.
