4-Methoxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde

Description:

4-Methoxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde, also known as p-anisylacetaldehyde, is an aromatic aldehyde characterized by the presence of a methoxy group (-OCH₃) and a methyl group (-CH₃) on a benzene ring, with an aldehyde functional group (-CHO) attached. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, floral odor, making it useful in the fragrance industry. It has a relatively low boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the methoxy group enhances its reactivity and influences its chemical behavior, allowing it to participate in various organic reactions, including nucleophilic additions and condensation reactions. Additionally, 4-Methoxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.

4-Methoxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde (4MMBA) is a synthetic chemical that is used as an antifungal agent. It interacts with the cellular membranes of fungi and disrupts their ability to maintain homeostasis. 4MMBA inhibits the growth of invasive aspergillosis by inhibiting protein synthesis, which leads to cell death. The mechanism of action for 4MMBA is not well understood, but it has been shown to inhibit the growth of fungi in a model system. It also inhibits the production of pyrylium, which may be responsible for its activity against fungi.
