3,4-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde (CAS 1072-95-1) is a key phenolic intermediate synthesized via selective oxidation of vanillin or hydrolysis of lignin derivatives. Its molecular formula is C7H6O3, serving as a fundamental building block for high-value pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
Store in sealed containers under inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation. Use appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles due to potential skin irritation and sensitization risks during handling.
