Identification
Common Name3,4-Dihydroxymandelaldehyde
ClassSmall Molecule
Description3,4-Dihydroxymandelaldehyde, also known as 3,4-dihydroxymandelaldehyde or 3,4-dihydroxymandelaldehyde, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylacetaldehydes. Phenylacetaldehydes are compounds containing a phenylacetaldehyde moiety, which consists of a phenyl group substituted at the second position by an acetalydehyde. 3,4-Dihydroxymandelaldehyde is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 3,4-Dihydroxymandelaldehyde exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 3,4-Dihydroxymandelaldehyde participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, 3,4-Dihydroxymandelaldehyde can be biosynthesized from norepinephrine through the action of the enzyme amine oxidase [flavin-containing] a. In addition, 3,4-Dihydroxymandelaldehyde and methylamine can be biosynthesized from epinephrine; which is mediated by the enzyme amine oxidase [flavin-containing] a. In cattle, 3,4-dihydroxymandelaldehyde is involved in the metabolic pathway called the tyrosine metabolism pathway.
