Benzilic acid Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Propertieswhite powder
UsesBenzilic Acid is an impurity of Trospium (T892800), a tropine derivative with anticholinergic activity and a antiispasmodic agent.
DefinitionChEBI: Benzilic acid is a 2-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid.
Synthesis Reference(s)The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 29, p. 1631, 1964 DOI: 10.1021/jo01029a509
Safety ProfileModerately toxic by subcutaneousroute. Slightly toxic by ingestion. When heated todecomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating vapors.
Purification MethodsCrystallise benzilic acid from *benzene (ca 6mL/g), or hot H2O. [Beilstein 10 IV 1256.]
