Product Information

• Name: 2-Hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde
• Synonyms: 3-Methoxy-5-nitrosalicylaldehyde
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde (2HMOBA) is a molecule that has been studied computationally and experimentally. The antibacterial activity of this molecule is due to its ability to bind to metal ions, such as Cu(II), Fe(III), and Mn(IV). It also undergoes photochromism in the presence of light. 2HMOBA has been shown to bind to the hydroxyl group of salicylaldehyde, which may be responsible for its binding affinity. 2HMOBA binds with a higher affinity than salicylaldehyde does, which could be due to the benzyl group on this molecule. In functional theory, 2HMOBA can be interpreted as an electron donor or acceptor.
