Identification
Common Name2-HYDROXY-4-METHOXYBENZALDEHYDE
ClassSmall Molecule
Description2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde, also known as 4-methoxysalicylaldehyde or 2-hydroxy-P-anisaldehyde, is a member of the class of compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety. 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde is a vanillin tasting compound found in black walnut, which makes 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde is a chemical compound and an isomer of vanillin. Urolithin M7, one of the urolithins, has also been synthesized from 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde using the inverse electron-demand Diels–Alder reaction .
