Description

white to light yellow crystal powder

Solid

3-hydroxybenzoic acid is a monohydroxybenzoic acid that is benzoic acid substituted by a hydroxy group at position 3. It has been isolated from Taxus baccata. It is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of plasticisers, resins, pharmaceuticals, etc. It has a role as a bacterial metabolite and a plant metabolite. It derives from a benzoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 3-hydroxybenzoate.

White to light yellow crystal powder. 3-Hydroxybenzoic acid does not undergo decarboxylation at elevated temperature and is stable up to 300℃. This is in contrast to 2- and 4-hydroxybenzoic acids. Electrophilic substitution (e.g., nitration, halogenation, sulfonation) occurs ortho or para to the hydroxyl group. Thus, nitration with 62 % aqueous nitric acid gives 2-nitro-3-hydroxybenzoic acid as the main product, along with 4-nitro- and 6-nitro-3-hydroxybenzoic acids.

Crystallise the hydroxyacid from absolute EtOH. [Beilstein 10 IV 315.]
