Orsellinaldehyde is a dihydroxybenzaldehyde with a methyl side group. It can be classified as a resorcinol, benzaldehyde or toluene derivative. It is a natural product of several fungi. Fungi that contain it include Grifola frondosa , ^[1] Aspergillus cleistominutus , ^[2] Aspergillus nidulans , ^[3] and Agrocybe praecox . ^[4]

Production

Orsellinaldehyde can be produced by a Gattermann reaction of orcinol, using zinc cyanide under a hydrogen chloride atmosphere, which adds an aldimine (-CH=NH) group to the ring, ^[5] followed by hydrolysis to give the aldehyde. ^{[5] [6]}

Properties

The melting point is between 181 and 183 °C. ^[5]
