Uses
2-(benzyloxy)-3,5-dichlorobenzenecarbaldehyde (cas# 40359-57-7) is an intermediate used in the synthesis of 3''-Hydroxy-4''-methoxydiclofenac (H946710), which is a derivative of Diclofenac (Sodium Salt: D436450). Diclofenac is the first non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is derived from phenylacetic acid. Diclofenac, like other NSAIDs, primarily works by targeting the cyclo-oxygenase pathway in the arachidonic acid cascade, reducing the formation of inflammation mediators in the body.
