2,3,4-Trihydroxybenzaldehyde (CAS: 605-91-8) is a specialized aromatic aldehyde defined by three hydroxyl groups on the benzene ring. Produced via selective oxidation of polyphenolic precursors, its molecular formula is C7H6O4. This compound serves as a critical intermediate in high-value organic synthesis.
Requires storage below 25°C in dry, inert atmospheres to prevent oxidation. Handling mandates PPE due to skin irritation risks; avoid inhalation of dust or vapors during processing.
