4-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzaldehyde

Description:

4-Hydroxy-2-methoxybenzaldehyde, also known as vanillin acetate, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a methoxy group (-OCH3) attached to a benzaldehyde moiety. This compound typically appears as a pale yellow to light brown solid or liquid, depending on its purity and form. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. The presence of the hydroxyl and methoxy groups contributes to its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis and a potential candidate for various applications in the fragrance and flavor industries. Additionally, it exhibits antioxidant properties and may have biological activities, which have garnered interest in pharmaceutical research. Its molecular formula reflects its composition, and its structure allows for various functional modifications, enhancing its utility in synthetic chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.

4-Hydroxy-2-methoxybenzaldehyde

CAS: 18278-34-7

Echinatin is a benzaldehyde derivative that is found in the roots of Echinacea purpurea. It is a phenolic compound with a carbonyl group and two benzyl groups. 4-Hydroxy-2-methoxybenzaldehyde has been shown to have photophysical, cell culture, and functional group properties. This compound is used as a precursor for the production of echinatin and other plant polyphenols such as malonic acid. The biosynthesis of 4-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzaldehyde begins with the oxidation of cinnamic acid by cytochrome P450 monooxygenase to form cinnamoyl CoA. The enzyme cinnamate decarboxylase then converts this intermediate to p-hydroxybenzoic acid, which is then hydroxylated to form 4-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzaldehyde.
