Infobox references

4-Hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde, also known as p-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde, is a natural product with the formula HOC6H4CH2CHO. It is a derivative of phenylacetaldehyde and occurs as a white solid at room temperature.[1]

Synthesis[edit]

4-Hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde can be synthesized from (L-tyrosine) via a parsley tyrosine decarboxylase.[2]

Occurrence[edit]

4-Hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde is produced from the metabolismoftyraminebymonoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes in humans and the tyramine oxidase (tynA) enzyme in Escherichia coli.[3][4] In both species, it is subsequently metabolized into 4-hydroxyphenylacetatebyaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) enzymes in humans and the phenylacetaldehyde dehydrogenase (feaB) enzyme in E. coli.[3][4][5]

The condensation of 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde and dopamine is a key step in the biosynthesis of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids. These natural products include berberine and morphine.[6]
