CAS 19438-10-9: Methyl 3-hydroxybenzoate

Methyl 3-hydroxybenzoate is a fumigant that emits light when reacted with a base, such as potassium hydroxide. It is used in biological studies to identify DNA and RNA sequences. Methyl 3-hydroxybenzoate reacts with 5-nitrosalicylic acid to form an intermediate, which reacts with the hydroxyl group of a methyl ester or carboxylic acid to form an amine. This reaction can be catalyzed by phosphatases, which are enzymes that break down phosphate groups from molecules. The methyl ester group on methyl 3-hydroxybenzoate has been shown to react with intramolecular hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of a molecule with two hydroxy groups.

Methyl 3-hydroxybenzoate is a bioactive chemical.
