General description

Salicylaldehyde is the main odor constituent of buckwheat flour. It is also found in anise and vanilla extracts.

Application

  • Facile synthesis of iminated lignin for enhanced free radical and lead ion scavenging capabilities.: This study presents a novel method for synthesizing iminated lignin using salicylaldehyde. The modified lignin demonstrates significantly improved free radical and lead ion scavenging abilities, highlighting its potential application in environmental remediation and biochemical processes (Xia et al., 2024).

A series of N,N-disubstituted salicylaldehyde semicarbazones (SSCs), HOC(6)H(4)CHN-NHCONR(2), and their rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes, [ReBr(CO)(3)(SSC)], have been synthesised and characterised by IR and (1)H NMR spectroscopy. Crystallographic analysis of the complex [ReBr(CO)(3)(H(2)Bu(2))] (H(2)Bu(2)=SSC where R=Bu(n)) showed that the SSC acts as
