2-Hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde, 98%

2-Hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde, 98%

2-Hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde is utilized in the study of electroantennogram responses of the vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus F) to various volatile plant compounds. It plays a significant role in the synthesis of tetradentate Schiff base compounds and is employed in the preparation of 6-methoxy-3-nitro-2H-chromene using dibutylamine as a reagent.
