Application

2,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA) can be used as a starting material for the synthesis of resorcinol-based N-benzyl benzamide derivatives , hydroxylated and prenylated xanthones , and mycophenolic acid.
It can be also used as a reactant in the synthesis of DHBARF polymer aerogels by reacting with formadehyde (F) and resorcinol (R).

The discovery of inexpensive, readily available bioflavonoids, and their degradation products that boost the reproductive potential of mass-reared predators is the overarching goal of this research. We tested the hypothesis that 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA), an inexpensive degradation product of morin
