Uses
2,4-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde is usually used in two-step synthesis of ethyl 3,5-dibromo-2,4-dihydroxycinnamate.
Uses
2,4-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde is a resorcinol (R144700) derivative with potent antioxidative and antibacterial activity.
Definition
ChEBI: 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde is a dihydroxybenzaldehyde that is resorcinol which has been substituted by a formyl group para to one of the hydroxy groups.
General Description
2,4-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde undergoes regioselective mono-benzylation reaction under extremely mild basic conditions. It undergoes condensation reaction with isonicotinic acid hydrazide in methanol to yield 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone, a new fluorescent reagent.
