General Description

3-Acetoxybenzoic acid (3-ABA), a meta-substituted benzoic acid, is an isomer of aspirin. It can be synthesized by reacting 3-hydroxybenzoic acid with acetic anhydride. The esterification of 3-ABA with 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) in the presence of reactive halides has been reported.
