2,4,6-Trimethoxybenzaldehyde (Cat No.: R018518) is an aromatic aldehyde featuring three methoxy groups at the 2, 4, and 6 positions of the benzene ring and an aldehyde group at the 1-position. This compound is used as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and heterocyclic compounds. The electron-donating methoxy groups activate the aromatic ring, facilitating electrophilic substitution reactions. Its unique substitution pattern also makes it valuable in the synthesis of natural product analogs and research on bioactive molecules.
