Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameBenzoic acid, 3-methyl
Description3-Methyl-benzoic acid or 3-Methylbenzoic acid or m-Toluic acid, also known as m-Toluate or beta-Bethylbenzoate is a methylated derivative of benzoic acid in which the methyl substituent positioning at C-3 of the benzene ring. 3-Methyl-benzoic acid belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzoic acids. These are organic compounds containing a benzene ring which bears at least one carboxyl group. 3-Methyl-benzoic acid is one of three isomers of methylbenzoic acid wherein the methyl group is substituted at C-2, C-3 and C-4 of the benzene ring. 3-Methylbenzoic acid exists as a yellowish or beige-yellow powder that is poorly water soluble. It has a floral, honey odour. Industrially, 3-Methylbenzoic acid serves as a precursor to DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide), the well-known insect repellent. 3-Methyl-benzoic acid is a constituent of marijuana (cannabis) smoke and is formed during the combustion of cannabis ( Ref:DOI ).
