Application
Methyl 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate (methyl gentisate) may be used as a starting material in the synthesis of euonyminol.
General description
Methyl 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate (methyl gentisate) is an alkyl ester of gentisic acid. It is reported to show less cytotoxic and mutagenic activity than hydroquinone with a potential to inhibit melanogenesis. It has been synthesized from 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid. The crystal structure of the molecule was found to be planar.
