Description

2-(Benzyloxy)acetaldehyde (BA) is an aldol that is used as an oxidation catalyst for chemical stability. It can be synthesized with the use of asymmetric synthesis and coordination geometry. 2-(Benzyloxy)acetaldehyde has been shown to bind to the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase and inhibit its activity, which may lead to the treatment of infectious diseases. This compound also has receptor activity in coli K-12 cells, which can be used to detect BA in urine samples. The reaction mechanism of BA is similar to that of benzimidazole compounds, hydroxyl group, and trifluoroacetic acid.
