 |  | METHYL 2,4-DIHYDROXY-3,6-DIMETHYLBENZOATE Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Chemical Properties | Methyl 3,6-Dimethylresorcylate is an odor-determining constituent
of oakmoss absolute extract and forms colorless crystals (mp 145°C) with
a mossy–earthy odor. |  | Uses | Methyl atratate is used in biological study as role of androgens in inducing distinct response of epithelial-mesenchymal transition factors in human prostate cancer cells. |  | Preparation | Methyl 3,6-dimethylresorcylate is prepared by aromatization of corresponding
hydroxycyclohexenones, for example, by dehydrogenation with a suitable Nhaloimide. The intermediate hydroxycyclohexenone can be obtained either by reaction of
dimethylmalonate with 4-hexen-3-one and 5-chloro-3-hexanone or by reaction
of methyl propionylacetate with alkyl crotonate. Another route starts from the corresponding dimethyl-1,3-dihydroxybenzene,
which is carboxylated, and the resulting dihydroxymethylbenzoic acid is esterified.
