2,5-Dimethylbenzoic acid (CAS 610-72-0)
QUICK LINKS
2,5-Dimethylbenzoic acid is a crystalline solid of white color, displaying limited solubility in water but dissolving readily in prevalent organic solvents like ethanol, methanol, acetone, and benzene. It is used as a foundational component in synthesizing a range of organic compounds, including agrochemicals, polymers, and dyes. 2,5-Dimethylbenzoic acid serves as a standard for numerous analytical methods such as HPLC, GC, and MS. It may act to have a functional role in the production of proteins that are involved in cellular signaling pathways such as chemotaxis and apoptosis. 2,5-Dimethylbenzoic acid can function as a catalyst in reactions involving various organic compounds, act as a ligand binding to diverse organic molecules, and serve as an inhibitor in reactions with several organic molecules. 2,5-Dimethylbenzoic acid is a metabolite of pseudocumene (1,2,4-trimethylbenzene).
