Usage

Uses

Used in Agriculture:
N-M-TOLYLPHTHALAMIC ACID is used as an antiscission agent for fruits and vegetables. It helps to prevent premature drop and acts as an anti-shock treatment for plants, ensuring better yield and quality of the produce.
Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
N-M-TOLYLPHTHALAMIC ACID is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds. On ingestion, it is hydrolyzed to produce m-toluidine, which can be further used in the production of drugs and other medicinal agents.

Hazard

Toxic. Avoid ingestion.

Studies in large ring compounds: Synthesis of some new morphanthrindines and diazocines

A novel method for the synthesis of 2 or 3-substituted 5,6-dihydro-6,11-dioxo-morphanthridines (2) involving the cyclisation of anilinic acid (1) with PPA/AcOH has been developed. A new heterocyclic system, 2 or 3-Substituted 5,6,11,12-tetrahydrodibenzo[b, f] [1,4]diazocine-6,11-diones(4) has been synthesized with excellent yields.
