3D-FA42341 - 2-amino-3-methoxybenzaldehyde | 70127-96-7

2,3-Dimethoxyphenylacetic acid is an amino acid derivative that is used as a precursor for the synthesis of drugs. It is a natural product that can be found in plants and animals. This compound has been synthesized by introducing a halide to the olefination of naphthoic acid with 2-methoxybenzaldehyde. The synthetic route has been modified to produce 2,3-dimethoxyphenylacetic acid from phenylacetic acid in order to avoid inefficiencies such as photochemical decomposition.

4-Methoxy-2,5-dimethylbenzaldehyde

2,5-Dimethyl-4-methoxybenzaldehyde is a benzene compound that can exist in two isomeric forms (E and Z). The E isomer has optical activity (rotates plane polarized light) and the Z isomer does not. In the past, only the E form was analysed and used for research purposes. Recently, it has been discovered that the Z form of 2,5-dimethyl-4-methoxybenzaldehyde has a higher potential for use in industrial applications, such as plastics production.
