3-Hydroxybenzoic acid is a monohydroxybenzoic acid.

Preparation

3-Hydroxybenzoic acid can be obtained by the alkali fusion of 3- sulfobenzoic acid between 210 – 220°C.^[1]

Natural occurrence

3-Hydroxybenzoic acid is a component of castoreum, the exudate from the castor sacs of the mature North American beaver ( Castor canadensis) and the European beaver ( Castor fiber), used in perfumery.

It can also be formed by a Pseudomonas species from 3-Chlorobenzoic acid.^[2]

3-Hydroxybenzoic Acid can be found in the pineapple fruit as well.
