Aldehydes

2,5-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde is a compound that can be used as an antioxidant. It is also a precursor for the synthesis of benzalkonium chloride. 2,5-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde reacts with p-hydroxybenzoic acid to form 2,5-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and benzoic acid. The reaction mechanism of 2,5-dihydroxybenzaldehyde has been studied in detail using hl-60 cells and has been shown to be significant cytotoxicity. The hydroxyl group in this molecule creates a hydrogen bond with the carbonyl group in p-hydroxybenzoic acid and the two react together to form products. This reaction is catalyzed by Michaelis–Menten kinetics and proceeds via an electrochemical detector. Nitrogen atoms are not present in this molecule but do exist in benzalkonium chloride, which is synthesized from 2

3-Cyclohexene-1-carboxaldehyde is a carbonyl reduction agent that converts primary alcohols to aldehydes. 3-Cyclohexene-1-carboxaldehyde is an effective catalyst for the reduction of alpha, beta unsaturated carbonyls. The mechanism of this reaction involves the elimination of hydrogen chloride, which forms hydrochloric acid. The reaction can be controlled by adding either alkali metal or chloride ions to the reaction mixture. This process produces 2 products: aldehyde and alkyl chlorides. 3-Cyclohexene-1-carboxaldehyde is primarily used in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and nylon 6,6 from ethylene glycol.

Intermediate in organic synthesis

3,4-Dichlorobenzaldehyde oxime is a natural carotenoid that has been shown to have antibacterial activity. 3,4-Dichlorobenzaldehyde oxime is produced by the reaction of malonate and aldehyde in an incubated system. This compound has been shown to be active against Gram-positive bacteria such as staphylococcus and aldoximes and Gram-negative bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella typhimurium, and Shigella flexneri. 3,4-Dichlorobenzaldehyde oxime inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of the bacterial cell membrane. This binding prevents protein synthesis, leading to cell death. The biosynthesis of 3,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde oxime involves the conversion of abscisic acid (ABA) into ABA quinone through oxidation by an enzyme called ABA oxidase

2-Chloro-6-fluorobenzaldehyde oxime is the chemical compound with the formula ClCH=C(O)N(OH)Cl. It is a white solid that is soluble in water and ethanol. 2-Chloro-6-fluorobenzaldehyde oxime is used as a versatile building block in organic synthesis, for example as a reagent for the preparation of amides, esters, and nitriles. It is also useful as a reagent for the conversion of ketones to nitriles.

4-Fluoro-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde is a chemical compound that can be used as a reagent, reaction component, or building block in the synthesis of more complex compounds. This chemical is also known as CAS No. 23073-31-6 and has high quality and purity. 4-Fluoro-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde is useful for research purposes and can be used as a speciality chemical or a fine chemical.

2-Nitro-4,5-methylenedioxybenzaldehyde (2NMB) is a molecule with a molecular weight of 188.24, an empirical formula of C8H8NO2 and a chemical structure consisting of a benzene ring attached to two nitro groups. 2NMB has been shown to bind to the dopamine β-hydroxylase enzyme in human serum and inhibit the production of dopa, which leads to a decrease in dopamine levels. It also inhibits the growth of staphylococcus, cryptococcus neoformans, and typhimurium. 2NMB also has been used as radiotracers for gyrase activity and can be used for asymmetric synthesis due to its piperonal group. The uptake of 2NMB by cells is dependent on its nucleophilic properties.
