Properties | 2, 5-dihydroxybenzoic acid is also known as 5-hydroxysalicylic acid, commonly known as DBH is also called gentilic acid, which is a polyhydroxycarboxylic acid, which is a secondary product of salicylic acid after renal metabolism. 2, 5-dihydroxybenzoic acid is a white needle crystal, soluble in hot water, ethanol and ether, insoluble in chloroform, benzene and carbon disulfide. When heated for a long time above 150 ℃, it will decompose into carbon dioxide and hydroquinone, which is unstable in the air and blue in case of ferric chloride. |
uses | 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid is a hydroquinone compound, which is prone to oxidation reaction and is commonly used as an antioxidant excipient in the pharmaceutical industry. 2, 5-dihydroxybenzoic acid is also an antipyretic analgesic and an important pharmaceutical intermediate. 2, 5-dihydroxybenzoic acid is also a matrix commonly used in matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry, and its application is very wide. Used in organic synthesis. Medicine. Aspirin metabolites. Gentilic acid itself is an antipyretic analgesic and also used as a pharmaceutical intermediate. |
Production method | It is obtained by hydroxylation of hydroquinone. |
