3-methylsalicylaldehyde

Description:

3-Methylsalicylaldehyde, with the CAS number 824-42-0, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of aromatic aldehydes. It features a methyl group and a hydroxyl group attached to a benzene ring, along with an aldehyde functional group. This compound is characterized by its distinct aromatic odor, which is often described as sweet and floral. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. 3-Methylsalicylaldehyde is known for its applications in the synthesis of various chemical compounds, including fragrances and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, it exhibits biological activity, which may include antimicrobial properties. As with many aldehydes, it should be handled with care due to potential irritant effects on the skin and respiratory system. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this substance.

CAS: 824-42-0

2-Hydroxy-3-methylbenzaldehyde is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of phenols. It has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of locomotor activity in rats, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the synthesis of dopamine by blocking the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase. 2-Hydroxy-3-methylbenzaldehyde also has high solubility, as well as fluorescence properties. This compound reacts with copper chloride and phosphorus pentachloride to produce a hydrogen bond. The 2-hydroxy group is positioned orthogonal to the benzene ring, which allows for optical rotation. The phenoxy group is attached at position C2 on the benzene ring and is able to rotate freely around the cyclohexane ring, which generates optical rotatory power. This compound also has two hydroxy groups that react with copper chloride and phosphorus pentachloride to produce a hydrogen bond. The 2-hydroxy group is positioned
