Gentisic acid is a dihydroxybenzoic acid. It is a derivative of benzoic acid and a minor (1%) product of the metabolic break down of aspirin, excreted by the kidneys.[2]
It is also found in the African tree Alchornea cordifolia and in wine.[3]
Production
Gentisic acid is produced by carboxylation of hydroquinone.[4]
- C6H4(OH)2 + CO2 → C6H3(CO2H)(OH)2
This conversion is an example of a Kolbe–Schmitt reaction.
Alternatively the compound can be synthesized from Salicylic acid via Elbs persulfate oxidation (50% yield).[5][6]
Applications
As a hydroquinone, gentisic acid is readily oxidised and is used as an antioxidant excipient in some pharmaceutical preparations.
In the laboratory, it is used as a sample matrix in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry, [7] and has been shown to conveniently detect peptides incorporating the boronic acid moiety by MALDI. [8]
