Studies on the SYNTHETIC Method of 2,5-Dihydroxyterephthalaldehyde

Abstract

 2,5-Dihydroxyterephthalendehyde (Dha) can be used as an intermediate in organic chemistry and synthetic materials, which can participate in a variety of chemical reactions. Through these reactions, a variety of valuable compounds can be synthesized. However, the existing synthesis methods are cumbersome, difficult to operate, and have low yields. Referring to the reported Dha synthesis process, we successfully synthesized Dha using inexpensive 1,4-dimethoxybenzene with simple steps. The correct structure was proved by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) hydrogen spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (13C CP-MAS NMR) carbon spectroscopy, which provides a valuable reference for the synthesis of Dha.
