3-Amino-4-methylbenzoic acid(CAS#2458-12-0)

Application
3-Amino-4-methylbenzoic acid (3-amino-p-toluic acid, CAS 2458-12-0) is a versatile aromatic building block widely used in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its dual functional groups (amino and carboxylic acid) enable diverse derivatizations including amide coupling, diazotization, and heterocycle formation (e.g., quinazolines, benzimidazoles). This intermediate serves as a key precursor for the synthesis of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antimicrobial agents, and antihypertensive compounds. In agrochemistry, it is employed to develop herbicides and fungicides with enhanced crop protection profiles. Additionally, this compound is utilized in dye manufacturing and as a monomer for specialty polymers and coordination complexes. High purity ensures reproducible results in SAR studies, high-throughput screening, and GMP synthesis. Xinchem offers custom synthesis, custom chemical synthesis, and contract manufacturing of this essential building block with flexible scaling from R&D to commercial tons.
