3-Methoxysalicylic acid
2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid, also known as O-vanillic acid or O-vanillate, belongs to M-methoxybenzoic acids and derivatives class of compounds. Those are benzoic acids in which the hydrogen atom at position 3 of the benzene ring is replaced by a methoxy group. 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid is slightly soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid can be found in evening primrose, which makes 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. 3-Methoxysalicylic acid (CAS Number 877-22-5) is a beige fine crystalline powder. Its melting point is 147-150 C.
