2,3-Dimethylbenzoic Acid is used as a reagent in the synthesis of pyridyl benzamides as inhibitors for the kinetoplastid Trypanosoma brucei. 2,3-Dimethylbenzoic Acid is also used as a reagent in the synthesis of 2,3-Dihydro-1H-isoindole-4-carboxylic Acid (D450070) which is a reagent used in the synthesis of aminoalkylbenzoic acid derivatives for the treatment of faintness attacks, hypokinesia, cranial disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, depression, anxiety, neuropathic pain, neuropathological disorders and sleep disorders. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A dimethylbenzoic acid in which the two methyl groups are located at positions 2 and 3. | [General Description]
2,3-Dimethylbenzoic acid shows high binding affinity with antenna-specific odorant-binding protein of the alfalfa plant bug, Adelphocoris lineolatus. | [Purification Methods]
Crystallise the acid from EtOH. It is volatile in steam. The amide has m 156o (from H2O). [Beilstein 9 H 531, 9 III 2434, 9 IV 1797.] |
