3-Methoxy-2-methylbenzoic acid Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

The preparation method uses 3-nitro-2-methylbenzoic acid as a raw material to generate 3-amino-2-methylbenzoic acid, and obtains the product through diazotization and methoxylation. It is also possible to use 2, 6-dichlorotoluene as a raw material, first methoxylation with sodium methoxide, and then cyanide hydrolysis with potassium cyanide to obtain the product.

Uses

3-Methoxy-2-methylbenzoic acid is an intermediate of the insecticide methoxazide.
