Description

Application

• Characterizing Repellencies of Methyl Benzoate and Its Analogs against the Common Bed Bug, Cimex lectularius.: This study evaluates the repellent effects of Methyl 2-methoxybenzoate among other methyl benzoate analogs against bed bugs, highlighting its potential in developing non-toxic pest control solutions (Strickland et al., 2022).


• Copper-catalysed intramolecular O-arylation: a simple and efficient method for benzoxazole synthesis.: This research uses Methyl 2-methoxybenzoate as a ligand in the synthesis of benzoxazole, a compound with significant pharmaceutical applications, via copper-catalyzed reactions (Wu et al., 2014).


• Attraction of the orange mint moth and false celery leaftier moth (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) to floral chemical lures.: Explores the use of Methyl 2-methoxybenzoate in agricultural pest management, specifically its role in attracting and managing pest populations in crop fields (Landolt et al., 2014).


• Synthesis of (+/-)- and (-)-vibralactone and vibralactone C.: Discusses the synthetic applications of Methyl 2-methoxybenzoate in creating complex organic molecules, such as vibralactone, which are important in medicinal chemistry and biological research (Zhou and Snider, 2008).
