General description

2,4,5-Trihydroxybenzaldehyde (2,4,5-THBA) is a tri-substituted benzaldehyde that can be prepared from sesamol. Its free radical-quenching ability, antioxidant bioactivity and cytotoxicity have been assessed. 2,4,5-THBA has been identified as one of the components in the ethyl acetate extract of Beta vulgaris var. cicla seeds. The freezing point, boiling point, density and refractive index of 2,4,5-THBA are 499.65K, 510.61K, 1.3725g/cm3 and 1.6400, respectively.

Application

2,4,5-Trihydroxybenzaldehyde may be used in the synthesis of:
  • 2,4,5-tribenzyloxybenzaldehyde
  • 2,4,5-trihydroxybenzaldehyde N-(diphenylmethylene)hydrazine
  • 2-hydroxy-4,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde

As part of our earlier search for new compounds with improved biological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and tumor growth inhibition activities, we synthesized 2,4,5-trihydroxybenzaldehyde (2,4,5-THBA) from commercially available Sesamol. First we examined the free radical-quenching capacity of 2,4,5-THBA, 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (3,4-DHBA)
