Abstract

2-Substituted benzoic acid derivatives are known to possess wide variety of chemotherapeutic activity. Among these 2-hydroxy-benzoic acid derivatives are found to be very useful uricosuric agents and have powerful analgesic activity. In the present research work, two series of 2-substituted benzoic acid derivatives were synthesized and structure elucidation was done by spectral analysis using IR and pNMR spectroscopy. They were then tested for uricosuric and analgesic activities.
