Chemical Properties
creamish to yellow crystalline powder
Uses
4-Benzyloxybenzaldehyde is used in the synthesis of (5-fluoro-(2R*,3S*)-2,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)pentanenitrile),an estrogen receptor β-selective ligand. It is a position isomer of the adenylyl cyclase activator 2-benzyloxybenzaldehyde.
Uses
4-Benzyloxybenzaldehyde is a position isomer of the adenylyl cyclase activator 2-Benzyloxybenzaldehyde. 4-Benzyloxybenzaldehyde also has much less potent anticancer activity against HL-60 cells that i
ts isomeric counterpart.
