3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic Acid Ethyl Ester
3,4-Dihydroxybenzolic Acid (CAS No.: 3943-89-3) is is a natural phenolic compound found in many edible and medicinal plants, that is why it has a common name as Protocatechuic Acid. It may exist as ester form naturally.
It is not easy to obtain by traditional chemical synthesis, even sometimes it is not recommended in practice due to restriction of enviromental protection. We realized that throught unique and advanced Bio-Synthesis, firstly, we get 3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic Acid, then adding with ethanol to obtain 3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic Acid Ethyl Ester, we call that esterification reaction, and make 3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic Acid and its derivatives highly commercialized while cost is under control.
Hangzhou Viablife Biotech Co., Ltd is known as manufactuer of Phenolic Acids/ Polyphenols manufacturer in China, all based on innovative biosynthesis production process, and our full controlled subsidiary company in Nanchang of Jiangxi Province, named after Jiangxi Viablife Biotech Co., Ltd, is a modern plant occupying an area of 40,000 sqm.
