2-Formyl-5-phenylphenol

CAS: 35664-67-6

2-Formyl-5-phenylphenol is an analytical reagent that can be used as a probe for detection of zinc ions in aqueous solutions. It is synthesized from salicylaldehyde and phenylmagnesium bromide with zinc chloride as a catalyst. 2-Formyl-5-phenylphenol reacts with the hydroxide ion to form an alcohol, which is then oxidized by hydrogen peroxide to form a phenoxy radical. This radical reacts with another molecule of hydrogen peroxide to form a fluorescent compound, homolytically cleaving the molecule. The reactivity of the heterocyclic ring depends on its position on the ring, with meta positions being more reactive than ortho or para positions.
2-Formyl-5-phenylphenol has been shown to have good reactivity with other nucleophiles such as amines, thiols, alcohols, and carboxylic acids.
