2-Aminobenzaldehyde is an organic compound with the formula C6H4(NH2)CHO. It is one of three isomers of aminobenzaldehyde. It is a low-melting yellow solid that is soluble in water.[1]

Preparation and reactions

[edit]

It is usually prepared by reduction of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde with iron[2] or iron(II) sulfate.[3] Like related aminoaldehydes, it is unstable with respect to self-condensation.

2-Aminobenzaldehyde is used to prepare quinolines by the Friedländer synthesis:

By template reactions, it also forms trimeric and tetrameric condensation products that have been studied as ligands.

Structure of nickel-aquo nitrate complex of the ligand derived from condensation of three equivalents of 2-aminobenzaldehyde.[4]
