Biological activity | Methyl 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate is synthesized with Gallic acid as the starting material, and is mainly used to produce trimethoprim (TMP), sulfa synergist intermediates, and many other drugs. |
use | this product is an intermediate of the antibacterial synergistic drug trimethoprim. Used as a pharmaceutical intermediate, it is the main raw material for anti-anxiety drug trimetozidine, gastrointestinal drug trimebutine maleate, etc. |
Production method | Made by methylation reaction of gallic acid and dimethyl sulfate. Add water, gallic acid and dimethyl sulfate to the reaction pot, add sodium hydroxide solution dropwise at 15-35 ℃, and stir at about 40 ℃ for half an hour. The second batch of dimethyl sulfate was added, and sodium hydroxide solution was added dropwise at about 40 ℃ to pH 8-9. After continuing the reaction for 1h, it was cooled, filtered, washed and dried to obtain methyl trimethoxybenzoate with a yield of more than 90%. The above methylation and esterification reactions can also be carried out in water and chloroform using tetrabutylammonium bromide as a phase transfer catalyst. The product can also be prepared by using tannic acid as raw material or by esterification of 3,4, 5-trimethoxybenzoic acid and methanol. |
