2-Carboxybenzaldehyde is a carboxylated derivative of benzaldehyde which is readily converted to 2-hydroxymethyl benzoic acid by CBA dehydrogenase. 2-Carboxybenzaldehyde is a metabolite of ampicillin phthalidyl ester. It has been used to synthesize a series of N-substituted isoindolinones by reductive C-N coupling and intramolecular amidation with amines.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
