Chemical compound
Gentisic acid is a dihydroxybenzoic acid. It is a derivative of benzoic acid and a minor (1%) product of the metabolic break down of aspirin, excreted by the kidneys.[4]
It is also found in the African tree Alchornea cordifolia and in wine.[5]
Gentisic acid is produced by carboxylation of hydroquinone.[6]
-
C6H4(OH)2 + CO2 → C6H3(CO2H)(OH)2
This conversion is an example of a Kolbe–Schmitt reaction.
Alternatively the compound can be synthesized from salicylic acid via Elbs persulfate oxidation.[7][8]
In the presence of the enzyme gentisate 1,2-dioxygenase, gentisic acid reacts with oxygen to give maleylpyruvate:
-
2,5-dihydroxybenzoate + O2 ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } maleylpyruvate
As a hydroquinone, gentisic acid is readily oxidised and is used as an antioxidant excipient in some pharmaceutical preparations.
In the laboratory, it is used as a sample matrix in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry,[9] and has been shown to conveniently detect peptides incorporating the boronic acid moiety by MALDI.[10]
