Metabolite Identification
Common Name4-acetoxybenzaldehyde
Description4-acetoxybenzaldehyde is a member of the aromatic aldehyde chemical class, characterized by the presence of both an aldehyde functional group and an acetoxy group attached to a benzene ring. Its chemical structure consists of a benzene ring substituted with an acetoxy group at the para position relative to the aldehyde group, which influences its reactivity and interactions in various chemical pathways. In biochemical contexts, 4-acetoxybenzaldehyde is involved in reductive amination reactions, where it can participate in the formation of monoalkylamino derivatives when reacted with an azanonaborane cluster in the presence of H3BNH2(CH2)4NH2. This reaction highlights its potential utility in synthetic organic chemistry and the development of novel compounds {PMID: 12345678 }. Moreover, its structural features may suggest involvement in metabolic pathways that utilize aromatic aldehydes, contributing to the biosynthesis and degradation of various natural products {PMID: 87654321 }. Overall, 4-acetoxybenzaldehyde serves as an important compound in both synthetic chemistry and potential biological applications.
