Description

4-Acetoxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde is an antimicrobial agent that is used specifically for the treatment of lemongrass oil and eugenol. It has been shown to be effective against a wide range of microorganisms, such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. 4-Acetoxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit. The molecule also has hydroxyl group which can react with potassium dichromate and sodium carbonate. This reaction results in the formation of 4-acetoxy-3-hydroxybenzaldehyde through an S N 2 substitution mechanism.
