| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Gentisic acid is a dihydroxy benzoic acid. It is a derivative of benzoic acid and a minor (1 %) product of the metabolic break down of aspirin, excreted by the kidneys.
It is also found in the African tree Alchornea cordifolia and in wine. | [Chemical Properties]
white to light beige crystalline powder | [Application]
As a hydroquinone , gentisic acid is readily oxidized and is used as an antioxidant excipient in some pharmaceutical preparations. In the laboratory, it is used as a sample matrix in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry , and has been shown to conveniently detect peptides incorporating the boronic acid moiety by MALDI . | [Definition]
ChEBI: A dihydroxybenzoic acid having the two hydroxy groups at the 2- and 5-positions. | [Production Methods]
Gentisic acid is produced by carboxylation of hydroquinone.
C6H4(OH)2 + CO2 → C6H3(CO2H)(OH)2
This conversion is an example of a Kolbe–Schmitt reaction. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 72, p. 3292, 1950 DOI: 10.1021/ja01163a521 | [General Description]
Aspirin metabolite. | [Purification Methods]
Crystallise gentisic acid from hot water or *benzene/acetone. Dry it in a vacuum desiccator over silica gel. [Beilstein 10 H 384, 10 IV 1441.] | [References]
