3-aminobenzoic acid is an organic carboxylic acid that is used to make azo dyes . In addition to the 3-aminobenzoic acid, two further position exist isomeric forms: the anthranilic acid ( o -aminobenzoic acid) and the 4-aminobenzoic acid ( p -aminobenzoic acid ).
Extraction and presentation
3-aminobenzoic acid can be obtained by the reduction of 3-nitrobenzoic acid . Elemental zinc in hydrochloric acid or hydrazine , for example, are suitable as reducing agents .
toxicology
3-aminobenzoic acid shows low toxicity. In addition, no indications of reproductive toxicity, mutagenicity or carcinogenicity were found.
