General description

3-Fluoro-4-hydroxybenzoic acid is a halo-substituted 4-hydroxybenzoic acid that can be prepared from 3-fluoro-4-methoxybenzoic acid via demethylation.

Application

3-Fluoro-4-hydroxybenzoic acid may be used in the preparation of (S)-2-methylbutyl-3-fluoro-4-hydroxy benzoate and 4-n-alkoxy-3-fluorobenzoic acids. It may also be used in the synthesis of bis 3-fluoro-4-hydroxybenzoates, which are potent KCa2/3 pan-inhibitors.

Solvent proton nuclear magnetic dispersion studies at 25, 100, and 300 MHz have been performed on protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase (PCD) and its complexes with 3-chloro-4-hydroxybenzoate and 3-fluoro-4-hydroxybenzoate. Longitudinal and transverse relaxation rates were measured for these compounds and for the apoenzyme.
