CAS 123-11-5: p-Anisaldehyde

4-Methoxybenzaldehyde

4-Methoxybenzaldehyde is a surfactant with a Langmuir adsorption isotherm. It can be used in analytical methods for the determination of sodium carbonate at concentrations of 1 mg/mL and higher. The redox potentials of 4-methoxybenzaldehyde are +0.37 and -0.35 volts, which corresponds to group P2. The reaction mechanism for 4-methoxybenzaldehyde is the oxidation of the compound by potassium permanganate (KMnO4) in aqueous solution to form 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4HB). The fluorescent derivative of 4-methoxybenzaldehyde is magnesium salt, which has been shown to react with ryanodine receptors in skeletal muscle cells, leading to a decrease in calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Process optimization may be necessary for this product due to its limited applications in analytical chemistry.

4-Methoxybenzaldehyde (p-Anisaldehyde) is a naturally occurring fragrant phenolic compound, it has significant antifungal activity against Candida.

Applications Anisaldehyde is a metabolic product of the odoriferous fungus Lentinus lepidus. Anisaldehyde is used in perfumery and toilet soaps. References Jenner, P.M., et al.: Food Cosmet. Toxicol., 2, 327 (1964), Randolph, J., et al.: J. Med. Chem., 52, 3174 (2009),

4-Methoxybenzaldehyde

4-Methoxybenzaldehyde is widely utilized in the fragrance and flavor industry. It finds application as an important intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds, perfumes and pharmaceuticals like antihistamines. It is also used in the preparation of agrochemicals, dyes and plastic additives. A solution of para-anisaldehyde with acid and ethanol is used as stain in thin layer chromatography (TLC), which provides easy identification of different compounds.
