2,5-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde is used in the preparation of 2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, which is utilized to prepare psychoactive drugs such as 2,5-dimethoxy-4-bromophenethylamine, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenethylamine and 4-Chloro-2,5-dimethoxy-phenethylamine. It acts as an intermediate in organic synthesis.
주요 응용
2,5-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde, also known as 2C-H, is an organic compound and a benzaldehyde derivative. It can be used to produce 2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine. 2C-H is also used to produce many other substituted phenethylamines such as 2C-B, 2C-I and 2C-C.
제조 방법
2,5-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde synthesis: Anethole is oxidized to anisaldehyde , which after isolation is subjected to a BaeyerVilliger oxidation reaction with performic or peracetic acid. The O-formyl-4-methoxyphenol obtained this way is hydrolyzed . 4-Methoxyphenol is subsequently formylated using the Reimer-Tiemann method and the obtained 2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde is methylated with dimethylsulfate to 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde.
