3-Aminobenzoic acid Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Properties | White to off white crystalline powder |
Uses | 3-Aminobenzoic acid is used as an intermediate for dyes, pesticides and other organic synthesis. |
Uses | It finds its application as crystalline Intermediate for azo dyes, pharmaceuticals, and X-ray contrast media. |
Definition | ChEBI: 3-aminobenzoic acid is an aminobenzoic acid carrying an amino group at position 3. It is functionally related to a benzoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 3-aminobenzoate. |
Preparation | 3-Aminobenzoic acid is prepared by the reduction of 3-nitrobenzoic acid and used in dye syntheses. Its derivative N,N-dimethyl-3- aminobenzoic acid is also used in the production of dyes. |
General Description | 3-Aminobenzoic acid, popularly known as Mesalazine Impurity E, is a related compound of anti-inflammatory agent Mesalazine. Mesalazine belongs to a group of drugs referred to as aminosalicylates and is generally used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards. |
