Usage

Organic compound

It is a carbon-containing compound, which is classified as an organic compound.

Derivative of phenol

As a derivative of phenol, it inherits the basic structure and properties of phenol, with modifications due to the presence of additional functional groups.

Hydroxy and methyl groups

The presence of a hydroxy (-OH) group and a methyl (-CH3) group attached to a benzene ring contributes to its unique chemical properties and reactivity.

Common uses

Antioxidant and stabilizer in rubber and polymer production, preservative in cosmetics and personal care products, and potential active ingredient in pharmaceuticals.

Antioxidant properties

The presence of the hydroxy group allows it to neutralize free radicals, preventing oxidation and degradation of materials it is added to.

Low toxicity

It is considered to be relatively low in toxicity, meaning it is not expected to cause significant harm to human health or the environment when used as intended in industrial and consumer products.

Magnesium-mediated ortho-Specific Formylation and Formaldoximation of Phenols

Deprotonation of phenols using magnesium methoxide, followed by distillative removal of free methanol and addition of paraformaldehyde results in ortho-specific magnesium mediated formylation to give the corresponding salicyladehyde magnesium salts, from which the salicylaldehydes can be isolated by acidic work-up.Addition of aq. hydroxylamine sulfate to the salicylaldehyde magnesium salt, in place of the acid work-up, gives the corresponding salicylaldoximes.
