Chemical Properties
Pale yellow to brown low melting solid
Uses
o-Vanillin has been used to study the solvent-free reaction between
o-vanillin and
p-toluidine using NMR, DSC and XRD analysis. It was used in the synthesis of new ligand for Fe(III) and Al(lII).

Uses
A positional isomer of Vanillin. o-Vanillin is a more potent antioxidant than Vanillin.
Definition
ChEBI: A member of the class of benzaldehydes that is salicylaldehyde substituted by a methoxy group at position 3.
Hazard
ortho-Vanillin is harmful if ingested, irritating to eyes, skin and respiratory system, but has an unmistakable high LD50 of 1330 mg/kg in mice.
Biochem/physiol Actions
o-Vanillin induces DNA damage as detected by comet assay.
