Application

3,5-Dimethoxybenzoic acid (3,5-DmeoxBA) can be used as a reactant for the synthesis of:
  • 5,7-Dimethoxy-3,4-diphenylisocoumarin by coupling with diphenylacetylene.
  • Biotin dimedone, a reagent used in the study of protein sulfenation.

It can also be used as a ligand to synthesize lanthanide complexes [Ln(3,5-DmeoxBA)3(phen)]2; where phen is 1,10-phenanthroline.

A series of 2-(4-R-triazolyl)substituted 3-oxo-2,3-dihydrofurocoumarins have been synthesized by a regioselective cycloaddition of 2-azidooreoselone 1 or 2-azido-9-[(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]oreoselone 2 with various alkynes in the presence of Cu(II)/ascorbate in water/methylene chloride reaction medium. The structure of 2-azidooreoselone was established by X-ray structure
