4-Cyano-8-aminoxy-2-methylbenzoic acid is a white to pale yellow crystalline powder. It has the following physical properties:
1. ** Melting point **: The melting point of this compound is in a specific range, and the exact melting point value is extremely critical for identification and purity judgment. It is the inherent physical property of the substance, as if it is a unique "temperature label" for the substance. By accurately measuring the melting point, its purity and authenticity can be effectively determined.
2. ** Solubility **: It exhibits certain solubility in organic solvents such as dichloromethane, N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF). In dichloromethane, it can be dissolved in a moderate proportion to form a clear solution, which facilitates the choice of reaction medium in organic synthesis. In DMF, the solubility is also good. The strong polarity of DMF can interact with the compound to help it disperse and dissolve uniformly, which is conducive to various chemical reactions in the reaction system where DMF is used as a solvent. However, the solubility in water is poor. Due to the large proportion of hydrophobic groups in the molecular structure, the force between water molecules is weak, and it is difficult to form a uniform stable system with water.
3. ** Stability **: It has certain stability under conventional environmental conditions. However, if exposed to high temperature, high humidity or strong light for a long time, its chemical structure may gradually change. For example, high temperatures may cause chemical bonds within molecules to vibrate more vigorously, and when the energy is high enough, the chemical bonds may break, triggering decomposition reactions. High-energy photons in strong light may also interact with molecules, causing electrons to jump, triggering photochemical reactions that change their chemical and physical properties. Therefore, when storing, it needs to be placed in a cool, dry and dark place to maintain the stability of its physical and chemical properties.

4-Cyano-8-methoxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde, the chemical properties of this compound are relatively stable.
Looking at its structure, the cyanyl group (-CN) has a certain stability, and its carbon atom and nitrogen atom are connected by three bonds to form a stable structure. In many chemical reaction environments, cyanyl groups are not easy to dissociate or change by themselves, unless they encounter specific reagents and conditions, such as strong acidic or strong basic environments and appropriate temperatures, they can be hydrolyzed and converted into other groups such as carboxyl groups.
The methoxy group (-OCH) is connected to the benzene ring, and forms a p-π conjugate system with the benzene ring by virtue of the lone pair electrons of the oxygen atom. This conjugation effect increases the electron cloud density of the benzene ring, enhances the stability of the benzene ring, and also affects the activity and position of the substitution reaction on the benzene ring. Usually, it increases the electron cloud density of the adjacent and para-sites of the benzene ring relatively more, resulting in electrophilic substitution reactions that are more likely to occur in the adjacent and para-sites. However, this change in the distribution of the electron cloud caused by the methoxy group does not overly destroy the stability of the entire molecular structure.
Methyl (-CH) is connected to the benzene ring and is the power supply group. Although it also has an effect on the electron It mainly increases the electron cloud density of the benzene ring through the induction effect, and has a limited impact on the overall stability of the molecule due to its small spatial hindrance.
Benzaldehyde part, although the aldehyde group (-CHO) is an active group, it has strong reductivity and is easily oxidized to carboxyl group. However, in this molecule, the presence of benzene ring and other substituents affects the activity of aldehyde group to a certain extent. The electronic effect and spatial effect of peripheral substituents may reduce the probability of aldehyde group being attacked by external reagents, thereby enhancing the stability of aldehyde group in the molecule.
In summary, the overall chemical properties of 4-cyano-8-methoxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde are relatively stable, but under certain conditions, some groups in the molecule can still undergo corresponding chemical reactions.

To prepare 4-cyano-8-methoxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde, there are various methods. Today, according to the ancient style of "Tiangong Kaiwu", it is described below.
First, the corresponding halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons can be started. First, take the aromatic hydrocarbon containing a halogen atom, add it to a suitable solvent, add a catalyst such as a copper salt, and heat it with a cyanide reagent. The cyanide reagent, such as potassium cyanide, sodium cyanide, etc., reacts by nucleophilic substitution, so that the halogen atom is replaced by a cyanide group to obtain an aromatic hydrocarbon derivative containing a cyanide group. Next, with a suitable alkylating reagent, such as iodomethane, etc., under the catalysis of a base, a methoxy group is introduced. Either potassium carbonate or sodium carbonate can be used as a base. The reaction is carried out at a suitable temperature and time. After alkylation, under specific conditions, the methyl group is converted into an aldehyde group through an oxidation reaction. For the oxidation method, a mild oxidant can be selected, such as manganese dioxide-sulfuric acid system, or a stronger chromic acid oxidant, depending on the activity of the substrate and the purity of the desired product.
Second, the aldehyde compound is used as the starting material. First, the aldehyde is acetalized with a specific alcohol under acid catalysis to protect the aldehyde group. Then a cyanide group is introduced, which can be added with hydrogen cyanide, or nucleophilic substitutions with cyanide reagents. Then a methoxy group and a methyl group can be introduced, and a method similar to the above alkylation can be used respectively. After each substituent is introduced, the acetal is hydrolyzed under acidic conditions to regenerate the aldehyde group to obtain the target product 4-cyano-8-methoxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde.
Third, start with phenolic compounds. Phenol is first methylated to introduce methyl, which can be reacted with methylating reagents such as dimethyl sulfate in the presence of base. Then cyano is introduced, which can be converted into diazonium salts by diazotization-cyano substitution method, and then reacted with reagents such as cuprous cyanide. Finally, through suitable oxidation and methoxylation steps, the construction of the target molecule is achieved. The oxidation step converts the methyl group to an aldehyde group, and the methoxylation can be achieved by the reaction of halogenated methane and alkoxide to obtain the desired 4-cyano-8-methoxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde.

Since modern times, the market has been in Changlong, and the price of all kinds of goods has changed from time to time and varies from situation to situation. As for 4-hydroxyl-8-methoxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde, its price is not fixed between the market and the market, and it is subject to many factors.
First, the abundance of raw materials really affects its price. If the various raw materials it relies on are widely produced and easy to obtain, the cost will drop, and the price will be cheap if it is in the market. On the contrary, if the raw materials are scarce, the collection is difficult, or subject to the weather and geographical conditions, the price will be high.
Second, the cleverness of the production method is also related to the price. If there is a subtle method that can save labor and effort, increase the quantity of its output, and ensure its good quality, the cost of the system will be light, and the price will be reduced. However, if the production method is cumbersome and costly, and the equipment and medicines required are rare, the price will be difficult.
Third, the amount of market demand can especially make the price fluctuate. If the demand for this product in various industries, such as medicine and spices, is strong, the supply is in short supply, and the price will rise. If there is little demand and the supply exceeds the demand, the price will inevitably decline.
In addition, in the four-sided region, the terroir is different, and the decrees are different, and the price varies accordingly. Prosperous capital, merchants converge, logistics is convenient, competition is fierce, and the price may be flat compared with other places. In remote places, transshipment is difficult, and the supply and demand conditions are different, so the price may be very different.
Roughly speaking, the price of 4-hydroxy- 8-methoxy-2-methylbenzaldehyde ranges from tens of gold to hundreds of gold per gram. However, this is only an approximate number, and the actual price should be based on the current market conditions and transaction conditions. It cannot be generalized.
