Description

2-Hydroxy-4-fluorobenzaldehyde is a chemical used as a diagnosis agent to detect radiation exposure. It reacts with magnesium and water molecules to form an amination reaction that produces hydrogen fluoride gas. 2-Hydoxy-4-fluorobenzaldehyde has been shown to have the ability to penetrate into mitochondria, which may be related to its use in the treatment of hepatitis. The chemical structure of this compound is similar to salicylaldehyde, which is used as a reagent for formylation reactions and optical properties. It has also been shown that 2-hydroxy-4-fluorobenzaldehyde can act as a fluorescence probe for the detection of hydrophobic regions on proteins.
