2-Methoxybenzoic acid Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden
Beschreibung
2-Methoxybenzoic acid, also called 2-methoxybenzoate or O-anisic acid, belongs to a group of organic compounds called o-methoxybenzoic acids. These compounds have a methoxy group substituted for the hydrogen atom at position 2 of the benzene ring. In its solid form, 2-methoxybenzoic acid is slightly soluble in water and has weak acidity (indicated by its pKa value). It has been found in various biofluids and s primarily located in the cytoplasm of cells. Additionally, it can be converted into cyprosulfamide. 2-methoxybenzoic acid is present in foods like jew's ear, muscadine grape, sesame, and elliott's blueberry. Therefore, it can potentially be used as a biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Application
2-Methoxybenzoic acid, also known as 2-methoxybenzoate or O-anisic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as o-methoxybenzoic acids and derivatives. These are benzoic acids in which the hydrogen atom at position 2 of the benzene ring is replaced by a methoxy group. 2-Methoxybenzoic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as sugar apples (Annona squamosa), cereals and cereal products, fruits, cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata), and other cereal products. This could make 2-methoxybenzoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
