Chemical Properties
clear yellow liquid
Uses
2-Hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde was used to synthesize radiolabeling precursor desmethyl-PBR06. It was used to study electroantennogram response of the vine weevil (
Otiorhynchus sulcatus F.) to a broad range of volatile plant compounds. It was used in the synthesis of tetradentate Schiff base compounds.
Uses
2-Hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde is employed to study electroantennogram response of the vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus F) to a broad range of volatile plant compounds. It plays an important role in the preparation of tetradentate Schiff base compounds. Further, it is used in the preparation 6-methoxy-3-nitro-2H-chromene by using dibutylamine as a reagent.
