4-Ethoxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde is an organic compound that can be found in plants, such as in the leaves of the nutmeg plant. It is a cleavage product of 4-hydroxycoumarin. 4-Ethoxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde is a dicarboxylic acid by substructure and it has been shown to be an intermediate in the synthesis of ethylene acetal and hydrogen peroxide. It is also postulated to react with chloride to form 4-chloroacetophenone and chloride ions, which are then reacted with hydrogen peroxide to form hydrochloric acid. The acute toxicity of this compound has not been determined but it may cause toxic effects on extracellular cells, such as radical species. The toxicities of 4-ethoxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde have been observed in biphenyl which causes skin irritation, liver toxicity, kidney damage, and respiratory irritation
