CAS 56724-09-5: Benzaldehyde, 5-methoxy-2-methyl-

5-Methoxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde is a piperazine derivative that is used in the synthesis of other organic compounds. It is an intermediate for the production of fluoroquinolones, which are broad spectrum antibiotics. 5-Methoxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde can be synthesized using the liquid phase technique, which involves the use of solvents such as chloroform and ethanol. It has two isomers, methoxy methyl and methoxymethyl, which can be separated by chromatography or mass spectrometry. The synthesis of 5-methoxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde starts with a reaction between trimethylamine and formaldehyde in concentrated sulfuric acid. This reaction produces diethyl fumarate, which reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce diethyl malonate. The next step in this process involves heating the malonate mixture to produce 5-methoxy-2-methylbenz
