Application

3,5-Dimethoxybenzoic acid (3,5-DmeoxBA) can be used as a reactant for the synthesis of:
  • 5,7-Dimethoxy-3,4-diphenylisocoumarin by coupling with diphenylacetylene.
  • Biotin dimedone, a reagent used in the study of protein sulfenation.

It can also be used as a ligand to synthesize lanthanide complexes [Ln(3,5-DmeoxBA)3(phen)]2; where phen is 1,10-phenanthroline.
