o-Toluic acid Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

White crystals. Slightly soluble in water; soluble in alcohol and chloroform. Combustible.

Uses

o-Toluic acid is part of a group of Benzoic acid (B203900) derivatives that possess inhibitory activity against mushroom tyrosinases. o-Toluic acid is also used as a reagent to synthesize halogen-substituted benzoic acids (such as 2,4-Dichlorobenzoic acid [D431955]), which have potential muscle stimulating effects.

Definition

ChEBI: A methylbenzoic acid that is benzoic acid substituted by a methyl group at position 2.

Air & Water Reactions

Fine dust dispensed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard. . Insoluble in water.

Fire Hazard

Flash point data for o-Toluic acid are not available. o-Toluic acid is probably combustible. Fine dust dispensed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the acid from *benzene (2.5mL/g) and dry in air. The S-benzylisothiuronium salt has m 146o (from aqueous EtOH). [Beilstein 9 IV 1697.]
