4-methoxy-3-(1-methylethyl)benzaldehyde

Description:

4-Methoxy-3-(1-methylethyl)benzaldehyde, also known by its CAS number 31825-29-3, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of aromatic aldehydes. It features a benzene ring substituted with a methoxy group (-OCH3) and an isopropyl group (-C(CH3)2) at the 4 and 3 positions, respectively, along with an aldehyde functional group (-CHO). This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the methoxy group enhances its electron-donating properties, influencing its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis and fragrance formulations. Additionally, its structure suggests potential uses in the production of various chemical intermediates and in the study of structure-activity relationships in medicinal chemistry. As with many organic compounds, proper handling and safety precautions should be observed due to potential toxicity and reactivity.

3-Isopropyl-4-methoxybenzaldehyde

CAS: 31825-29-3

3-Isopropyl-4-methoxybenzaldehyde is a biomolecular compound that is potent at inhibiting the activity of aromatase, an enzyme involved in the synthesis of estrogens. This inhibitor also can be used to prevent ovulation and has been shown to produce contraceptive effects in animals. 3-Isopropyl-4-methoxybenzaldehyde inhibits the conversion of testosterone into estradiol by binding to the heme group of the enzyme cytochrome P450c17. The inhibition occurs when 3-isopropyl-4-methoxybenzaldehyde binds to a heme moiety on cytochrome P450c17, which prevents electron transfer from NADPH. 3-Isopropyl-4-methoxybenzaldehyde also has been shown to inhibit cross coupling reactions, specifically alkylboronic acid reactions and photocyclization reactions.
