3,4-Dimethoxybenzoic acid plays an important role in producing antibiotics and various dyes. They are used as intermediates for pharmaceuticals (especially for antipyretic analgesic, antirheumatism) and other organic synthesis. It is used as matrix for ionization of peptides, proteins and carbohydrates.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
