• Description: 5-Carboxyvanillin is the oxidation product of isoeugenol and p-hydroxybenzoic acid. It can be produced by reacting these two compounds with a peroxide in an oxidizing reaction. The reaction products include 5-carboxyvanillic acid, which can be hydrolyzed to vanillin. 5-Carboxyvanillin is a white crystalline solid with a chemical nature similar to that of vanillin. It has been shown to have antimicrobial properties against tissues, such as guinea pig ileum and rat liver, but not against bacterial cultures. This compound may also be used in pulping processes for the production of paper or cellulose fibers.
