Product Information

• Name: 6-Fluorosalicylaldehyde
• Synonyms: 2-Fluoro-6-hydroxybenzaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 6-Fluorosalicylaldehyde is a sulfate that has been used in the synthesis of 6-fluorosalicylic acid, which is an intermediate for the production of aspirin. It also can be used to synthesize phenols and formylation products. The reaction with hydroxylamine leads to salicylaldehydes, while the reaction with methoxide leads to salicylaldehyde.6-Fluorosalicylaldehyde reacts with magnesium salts in acidic conditions to produce paraformaldehyde. Deprotonation of 6-fluorosalicylaldehyde yields methoxide.
