General description

3,4-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde forms 1:1 inclusion complexes with cyclodextrins. It reacts with 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethythiophene to yield chalcone dye, (2E)-3-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(2,5-dimethylthiophen-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-one.

application

3,4-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde was used in the preparation of 4-chloromethyl-2-(dimethoxyphenyl)-1,3-dioxolane. It was used in the synthesis of (+)-lithospermic acid, having anti-HIV activity.

This study introduced spectroscopic properties, physicochemical parameters, and polarity and photostability behaviors of a newly prepared chalcone dye. The chalcone dye, (2E)-3-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(2,5-dimethylthiophen-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (DDTP), was synthesized by the reaction of 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde with 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethythiophene.

An efficient and convergent route for the synthesis of the natural product (+)-lithospermic acid, which possesses anti-HIV activity, was accomplished. The (±)-trans-dihydrobenzo[b]furan core therein was prepared by two different strategies. The first strategy involved the use of a palladium-catalyzed annulation

This paper reports the formation of veratraldehyde by electroenzymatic oxidation of veratryl alcohol (3,4-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol) hybridizing both electrochemical and enzymatic reactions and using lignin peroxidase. The novel electroenzymatic method was found to be effective for replacement of hydrogen peroxide by
