white to off-white crystalline powder | [Uses]
2,5-Dimethylbenzoic acid was used in the synthesis of new derivatives of [24]paracyclophane. It was used as starting reagent in the synthesis of methyl 2,5-dimethylbenzoate. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A dimethylbenzoic acid in which the two methyl groups are located at positions 2 and 5. | [General Description]
2,5-Dimethylbenzoic acid is a metabolite of pseudocumene (1,2,4-trimethylbenzene). | [Purification Methods]
Steam distil the acid, then crystallise it from EtOH or H2O (m 134-134.5o). [Beilstein 9 H 534, 9 IV 1802.] |
