Descripción

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
