Abstract: Preparation method of 2,3,4-trimethoxybenzoic acid is introduced, which was synthesized from 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzoic acid by methylation,hydrolysis,acidification and purification. The results showed that the optimal methylating condition was as follows: dosage ratio of dimethyl sulfate to 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzoic acid 4:1,dosage of calalyst 5%of 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzoic acid. The structure of the refined product was confirmed by IR and 1H NMR.The purity was 99.54% by HPLC.

Key words: 4-trimethoxybenzoic acid, 4-trihydroxybenzoic acid
