Methyl 2,4-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethylbenzoate Chemical Properties, Uses, Production
Chemical Properties
Methyl 3,6-Dimethylresorcylate is an odor-determining constituent of oakmoss absolute extract and forms colorless crystals (mp 145°C) with a mossy–earthy odor.
Uses
Methyl atratate is used in biological study as role of androgens in inducing distinct response of epithelial-mesenchymal transition factors in human prostate cancer cells.
Preparation
Methyl 3,6-dimethylresorcylate is prepared by aromatization of corresponding
hydroxycyclohexenones, for example, by dehydrogenation with a suitable Nhaloimide.
The intermediate hydroxycyclohexenone can be obtained either by reaction of
dimethylmalonate with 4-hexen-3-one and 5-chloro-3-hexanone or by reaction
of methyl propionylacetate with alkyl crotonate.
Another route starts from the corresponding dimethyl-1,3-dihydroxybenzene,
which is carboxylated, and the resulting dihydroxymethylbenzoic acid is esterified.
Definition
ChEBI: Methyl beta-orcinolcarboxylate is a 4-hydroxybenzoate ester.
