Product Information

• Name: 2-Hydroxy-5-phenylbenzaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Hydroxy-5-phenylbenzaldehyde is a fluorescent probe that is used in the detection of amines and thiosemicarbazides. 2-Hydroxy-5-phenylbenzaldehyde has been shown to have antibacterial activity against bacteria such as subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus. This compound also emits fluorescence when it reacts with an amine or thiosemicarbazide, which can be used to detect these compounds. 2-Hydroxy-5-phenylbenzaldehyde also reacts with triethyl orthoformate under acidic conditions, producing ethylene and formic acid, which can be used to produce a volatile gas that can be detected by gas chromatography (GC).
