General description

2-Methoxy-4-nitrobenzoic acid is an alkoxybenzoic acid derivative. It has been reported to be synthesized by reacting 2-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzoic acid with methyl iodide and characterized by 1H and 13C-NMR spectra.

Application

2-Methoxy-4-nitrobenzoic acid may be used as a starting material in the following syntheses:
  • 2-Methoxy-4-nitrobenzamide, a nitroamide derivative.
  • 4-Amino-2-methoxybenzamide, an aminobenzamide derivative.
  • N,2-Dimethoxy-N-methyl-4-nitrobenzamide, a Weinreb amide derivative.
  • 1-(2-Methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-5-methylhex-2-yn-1-one, a ynone derivative.
  • 2,5-Constrained piperidine derivative, a potential CCR3 (Chemokine (C-C Motif) Receptor 3) antagonist.
