| Use | 3-methoxy-2-methylbenzoic acid is an intermediate of the insecticide methoxyfenozide. |
| production method | the preparation method is 3-nitro-2-methylbenzoic acid as raw material, 3-amino -2-methyl benzoic acid is formed, and the product is obtained by diazotization and methoxylation. It is also possible to use 2, 6-dichlorotoluene as a raw material, which is methoxylated with sodium methoxide first, and then hydrolyzed by cyanation with potassium cyanide to obtain a product. |
