By using potassium hydroxide, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid is accessible, an important precursor for the versatile paraben class of biocides used e.g. in personal care products. The methodology is also used in the industrial synthesis of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid; the regiochemistry of the carboxylation in this case is sensitive to temperature. [6]
In organic chemistry, the Hammett equation describes a linear free-energy relationship relating reaction rates and equilibrium constants for many reactions involving benzoic acid derivatives with meta- and para-substituents to each other with just two parameters: a substituent constant and a reaction constant.
Hydroxybenzoic acid may refer to several related chemical compounds: 2-Hydroxybenzoic acid (salicylic acid, o-hydroxybenzoic acid) 3-Hydroxybenzoic acid (m ...
Included in that class are substances containing a phenolic ring and an organic carboxylic acid function (C6-C1 skeleton). Two important naturally occurring types of phenolic acids are hydroxybenzoic acids and hydroxycinnamic acids, which are derived from non-phenolic molecules of benzoic and cinnamic acid, respectively. [1]
Monohydroxybenzoic acid may refer to any of three isomeric phenolic acids: Salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid, o-hydroxybenzoic acid) 3-Hydroxybenzoic acid (m-hydroxybenzoic acid) 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid (p-hydroxybenzoic acid) Monohydroxybenzoic acids can be degraded by microbes. [1]
Gentisic acid is produced by carboxylation of hydroquinone. [6] C 6 H 4 (OH) 2 + CO 2 → C 6 H 3 (CO 2 H)(OH) 2. This conversion is an example of a Kolbe–Schmitt reaction. Alternatively the compound can be synthesized from salicylic acid via Elbs persulfate oxidation. [7] [8]
Salicylic acid is an organic compound with the formula HOC 6 H 4 COOH. [3] A colorless (or white), bitter-tasting solid, it is a precursor to and a metabolite of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). [ 3 ]
