5-Formylsalicylic acid Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

light beige fine crystalline powder

Uses

5-Formylsalicylic Acid is used as a selective phase for the extraction of iron(III) in silica gel. It is also used in preparation of styrylquinolines as potent HIV-1 integrase inhibitors that block HIV-1 replication in CEM cells.

Definition

ChEBI: 5-formylsalicylic acid is a monohydroxybenzoic acid in which a benzoic acid nucleus is substituted at positions 2 and 5 by a formyl group and an hydroxy group respectively. It is a member of benzaldehydes, a monohydroxybenzoic acid and a member of phenols. It is functionally related to a salicylic acid.
