5-Methoxyisophthalic Acid is a humic acid degradation product found in soil. 5-Methoxyisophthalic Acid is also used in the synthesis of mesophases formed by several homologs of achiral seven-ring bent-core compounds.
Uses
5-Methoxyisophthalic acid (MeO-H2ip) may be used to synthesize [bpp = 1,3-di(4-pyridyl)propane]:
5-methoxy bis(4-benzyloxy)phenylisophthalate
3,5-bis(4-fluorobenzoyl)phenol
[Cd2(MeO-ip)2(bpp)2]n·nH2O
[Ni(MeO-ip)(bpp)(H2O)]n·nH2O
General Description
5-Methoxyisophthalic acid can be prepared from its dimethyl analog, via oxidation in the presence of potassium permanganate in pyridine-water.
