7-Methoxynaphthalene-2-carbaldehyde

CAS: 5665-23-6

7-Methoxynaphthalene-2-carbaldehyde is a dioxetane epoxide that is disfavored in the transcriptome. It can be produced by the oxidation of naphthalene and reacts with alcohols to form 7-methoxynaphthalene-2,3-diol. The metabolite has been detected in leukotriene A4, which is an inflammatory mediator in the body. There are two metabolic pathways for this compound: one involving enzyme kinetic and another involving kinetics. The former pathway involves a hydrolase enzyme called epoxide hydrolase, while the latter pathway does not involve any enzymes but rather is catalyzed by the substrate itself.
