Product Information

• Name: 2-Cyanobenzaldehyde
• Synonyms: 2-Formylbenzonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Cyanobenzaldehyde is an aldehyde that reacts with nucleophiles such as trifluoromethanesulfonic acid to form a molecule. 2-Cyanobenzaldehyde has potent inhibitory activity against the kinase glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) and can be used to treat autoimmune diseases. It also reacts with hydrochloric acid in solution to form an intermediate, which is then reacted with glycine and ATP to produce a chiral compound. The product of this reaction has been shown to be active methylene, which was synthesized by asymmetric synthesis.
