2-Hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde is an organic compound and an isomer of vanillin.

Synthesis and reactions

The chemical is produced by the Reimer-Tiemann reaction on 4-methoxyphenol with a 79% yield.{{cite book|last1=Wynberg|first1=Hans|last2=Meijer|first2=Egbert W.|title=The Reimer–Tiemann Reaction|year=2005|page=16|doi=10.1002/0471264180.or028.01|isbn=9780471264187}}

It reacts with malononitrile to form 2-imino-6-methoxy-2H-1-benzopyran-3-carbonitrile.{{cite journal|last1=Dinparast|first1=Leila|last2=Hemmati|first2=Salar|last3=Zengin|first3=Gokhan|last4=Alizadeh|first4=Ali Akbar|last5=Bahadori|first5=Mir Babak|last6=Kafil|first6=Hossein Samadi|last7=Dastmalchi|first7=Siavoush|title=Rapid, Efficient, and Green Synthesis of Coumarin Derivatives via Knoevenagel Condensation and Investigating Their Biological Effects|journal=ChemistrySelect|volume=4|issue=31|year=2019|pages=9211–9215|issn=2365-6549|doi=10.1002/slct.201901921|s2cid=202077668 }} It can be reduced by sodium borohydride in ethanol to form 2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzyl alcohol.{{cite journal|last1=Cheng|first1=Yan|last2=Ono|first2=Masahiro|last3=Kimura|first3=Hiroyuki|last4=Kagawa|first4=Shinya|last5=Nishii|first5=Ryuichi|last6=Kawashima|first6=Hidekazu|last7=Saji|first7=Hideo|title=Fluorinated Benzofuran Derivatives for PET Imaging of β-Amyloid Plaques in Alzheimer's Disease Brains|journal=ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters|volume=1|issue=7|year=2010|pages=321–325|issn=1948-5875|doi=10.1021/ml100082x|pmid=24900214 |pmc=4007906}}
