| Definition |
ChEBI: A dihydroxybenzoic acid having the two hydroxy groups at the C-2 and C-6 positions. |
| Purification Methods |
Dissolve the acid in aqueous NaHCO3 and the solution is washed with ether to remove non-acidic material. The acid is precipitated by adding H2SO4, and recrystallised from water. Dry it under va |
