3-Methoxy-2-methylbenzoic Acid

Benzoic Acids Pharma Agro


3-Methoxy-2-methylbenzoic acid (2-methyl-3-methoxybenzoic acid) is a white crystalline powder, a polysubstituted benzoic-acid intermediate bearing both a methyl and a methoxy group, widely used as a raw material for pharmaceutical and fine-chemical synthesis. It has a melting point of 148-151℃, is slightly soluble in water, and soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether.

The product can be prepared from o-cresol via methoxylation and carboxylation, or obtained by hydrolysis of 2-methyl-3-methoxybenzonitrile, giving high purity and batch-to-batch consistency.



Applications: Key intermediate for gastric mucosal protectants (e.g. rebamipide), anti-inflammatory and heterocyclic drugs; irreplaceable scaffold in specific drug routes; also herbicide intermediate.
