Product Information

• Name: 2,5-Thiophenedicarboxaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,5-Thiophenedicarboxaldehyde (2,5-TDA) is a macrocyclic nitrogen heterocycle that activates the protein kinase cAMP-dependent protein kinase A. This activation leads to increased transcription of genes controlled by this pathway and may be involved in tumor treatment. 2,5-TDA has been shown to be toxic to amines and can be used as an analytical chemistry reagent. It is also used as a starting material for the synthesis of other compounds. 2,5-TDA is prepared by oxidation of thiophene with hydrochloric acid or trifluoroacetic acid. The reaction results in an irreversible oxidation that proceeds via a radical mechanism. The isolated yield is low because 2,5-TDA is thermodynamically unstable and decomposes at higher temperatures.
