Description and Uses
2,3-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde, commonly known as o-veratrol, is an important aromatic aldehyde compound. Its structure is characterized by two methoxy substituents and one aldehyde group at the ortho (2 and 3) positions of the benzene ring. Due to its unique chemical structure, this compound occupies a central position in the field of pharmaceutical intermediates, especially as a key precursor in the synthesis of berberine. Furthermore, it possesses significant biological activities, such as antifungal and antiviral effects.
A benzaldehyde derivative that may possess antifungal activity of redox-active benzaldehydes that target cellular antioxidation. It could function as chemosensitizing agents in concert with convention al drugs or fungicides to improve antifungal efficacy.
