Methyl 3-hydroxybenzoate Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Methyl 3-Hydroxybenzoate can be used to increase the stability of agents to treat keratin material.

Chemical Properties

White Solid

Uses

Methyl 3-hydroxybenzoate is used in the preparation of 3-hydroxybenzene-1,2-dicarbaldehyde and O-methyl O-[3-methyl-4-(methylthio)phenyl]O-(3-methylcarboxyphenyl) phosphorothioate.

Uses

Methyl 3-hydroxybenzoate has been used in synthesis of:

• 3-hydroxybenzene-1,2-dicarbaldehyde
• O-methyl O-[3-methyl-4-(methylthio)phenyl]O-(3-methylcarboxyphenyl) phosphorothioate

Definition

ChEBI: Methyl 3-hydroxybenzoate is a benzoate ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of 3-hydroxybenzoic acid with methanol. It has a role as an antibacterial agent. It is a benzoate ester, a member of phenols and a methyl ester. It is functionally related to a 3-hydroxybenzoic acid.
