Uvitic acid (5-methylisophthalic acid) is an organic compound with the formula CH3C6H3(COOH)2.[1][2] The name comes from Latin uva which means a grape. The acid is called so because it may be produced indirectly from tartaric acid, which is found in the grape.[3] Under normal conditions, the acid is a white crystalline substance.
Preparation
Uvitic acid is obtained by oxidizing mesitylene or by condensing pyruvic acid with baryta water.[4]
