2-溴-3-羟基-4-甲氧基苯甲醛

2-Bromo-3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde, also known as 2-bromo-isovanillin, can be synthesized by the bromination of 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde.

2-Bromo-3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (2-Bromo-isovanillin) may be used in the preparation of:

• 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde semicarbazone (HMBS)
• 2-cyclopentyl-7-methoxy-1-benzofuran-4-carbaldehyde
• 3-(benzyloxy)-2-bromo-4-methoxybenzaldehyde

It may also be used as a starting material in the total synthesis of the following natural products:

• pareitropone
• denbinobin
• (±)-codeine
