Description
3,5-Di-tert-butylsalicylaldehyde, also known as 3,5-Di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, is an organic intermediate, which can be prepared from 2, 4-di-tert-butylphenol through one-step reaction. It has been reported that it can be used to prepare dimethyl ethylenediamine tert-butylphenol and (S,S)-salenCo (II) catalyst.
3,5-Di-tert-butylsalicylaldehyde is used in the synthesis of Mn(III)-salen complex and its diamino precursor 5,6-diamino-5,6-dideoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-3-O-methyl-β-L-idofuranose, chiral Schiff base ligand for an enantioselective copper-catalyzed addition of phenyl acetylene to imines, chiral oxazolidine ligand for the enantioselective addition of diethyl zinc to aldehydes and tin Schiff base complexes with histidine analogues.
3,5-Di-tert-butylsalicylaldehyde is a salicylaldehyde derivative with antibacterial activity used in the preparation nickel complexes. 3,5-Di-tert-butylsalicylaldehyde is structurally related to 3,5-di-t-butylcatechol (DTCAT) but is not as potent an activator of rat skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor Ca2+ channel (RyRC).
