3,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (α-resorcylic acid) is a dihydroxybenzoic acid. It is a colorless solid.
Preparation and occurrence[edit]
It is prepared by disulfonation of benzoic acid followed by hydrolysis of the disulfonate.[3]
It is a metabolite of alkylresorcinols, first identified in human urine[4] and can be quantified in urine[5] and plasma,[6] and may be an alternative, equivalent biomarker of whole grain wheat intake.[7]
