2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic acid is a dihydroxybenzoic acid, a type of organic compound. The colourless solid occurs naturally, being formed via the chorismic acid pathway. It is incorporated into various siderophores, which are molecules that strongly complex iron ions for absorption into bacteria. 2,3-DHB consists of a catechol group, which upon deprotonation binds iron centers very strongly, and the carboxylic acid group by which the ring attaches to various scaffolds via amide linkages. A famous high affinity siderophore is enterochelin, which contains three dihydroxybenzoyl substituents linked to the depsitripeptide of serine.[1][2] It is a potentially useful iron-chelating drug.[3]

2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic acid is also a product of human aspirin metabolism.[4]
