3-(Hydroxymethyl)benzaldehyde

Description:

3-(Hydroxymethyl)benzaldehyde, also known as salicylaldehyde, is an aromatic aldehyde characterized by the presence of both a hydroxymethyl group and an aldehyde functional group attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C8H8O2, and it features a hydroxymethyl (-CH2OH) group at the meta position relative to the aldehyde (-CHO) group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, floral odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but less soluble in water. 3-(Hydroxymethyl)benzaldehyde is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis, in the production of pharmaceuticals, and as a flavoring agent. It exhibits reactivity typical of aldehydes, such as undergoing oxidation to form carboxylic acids and participating in condensation reactions. Additionally, its hydroxymethyl group can engage in further chemical transformations, making it a versatile compound in synthetic organic chemistry.

3-Formylbenzyl alcohol

CAS: 52010-98-7

3-Formylbenzyl alcohol is a fatty acid that has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by binding to the hydroxyl group of the bacterial cell membrane. 3-Formylbenzyl alcohol's antimicrobial activity is due to its ability to inhibit the production of fatty acids in the cell membrane, preventing the formation of an outer layer that protects bacteria from attack. The antibacterial agent also inhibits protein synthesis and prevents DNA replication, resulting in cell death. 3-Formylbenzyl alcohol binds to bacteria through hydrogen bonding and has been shown to be effective against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The mechanism for this action is not clear but may involve an intramolecular hydrogen bond or nucleophilic attack by one of its carbonyl groups on a nitrogen atom in the bacterial molecule.
