5-Nitrosalicylaldehyde

It is a key building block for creating more complex compounds, such as the cardiovascular drug dronedarone, and for manufacturing optical storage and fluorescent switch materials. It is also used in the preparation of other organic compounds, like coumarin, and in studies related to antibacterial and antioxidant properties. 5-Nitrosalicylaldehyde is used mainly as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, and photochromic materials.
