Product Information
4-Formyl-2-methoxyphenyl 4-methylbenzoate is a naturally occurring ester that is used in organic chemistry as a building block for the synthesis of functionalized carboxylic acids. The compound can be synthesized from vanillin and an aliphatic carboxylic acid, such as acetic acid. This reaction proceeds by the elimination of water and formation of an ester linkage between two aromatic rings. 4-Formyl-2-methoxyphenyl 4-methylbenzoate has been shown to have antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. It also inhibits the growth of bacteria by inhibiting protein synthesis and cell division.
