General description
3-Methoxybenzoic acid is an important intermediate in the synthesis of natural products.
Application
3-Methoxybenzoic acid was used in the synthesis and characterization of 3-methoxybenzoates of europium (III) and gadolinium (III). It was used in conversion of aromatic carboxylic acids into methyl esters and reduction to the corresponding primary alcohols using a sodium borohydride-THF-methanol system.

We determined the effect of 3-methoxybenzamide (3-MB), a competitive inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (E.C. 2.4.2.30), on intrachromosomal homologous recombination in mouse Ltk- cells. We used a cell line that contained in its genome two defective Herpes thymidine kinase (tk) genes

1. 2-(Allylthio)pyrazine (2-AP) has been demonstrated to protect the liver against toxicants by inhibiting CYP2E1 activity. Since 2-mercaptopyrazine (2-MP) is presumed to be a metabolite of 2-AP, the experiments were performed to determine whether rat liver microsomal and/or cytosolic preparations
