2-Amino-6-nitrobenzaldehyde is a glycol amide that is industrially synthesized to produce 9-nitrocamptothecin. This drug is used in the treatment of cancer and inhibits topoisomerase II, which is an enzyme that maintains DNA integrity. 2-Amino-6-nitrobenzaldehyde has a high product yield and high industrial capacity, making it an ideal candidate for large scale production. It can be obtained by a condensation reaction between acetone and nitroethane. The reaction proceeds smoothly at room temperature and pressure with no catalyst or solvent required.
