Preparation and reactions
It is usually prepared by reduction of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde with iron[1] or iron(II) sulfate.[2] Like related aminoaldehydes, it is unstable with respect to self-condensation.
2-Aminobenzaldehyde is used to prepare quinolines by the Friedländer synthesis:

gollark: That isn't very much iron or anything
gollark: At $50€ per car no sellers want to sell any cars so no cars are sold.
gollark: The quantity is the total amount sold and the price is the unit price. I don't see the problem.
gollark: ???
gollark: That isn't what that means. At $50, nobody is willing to sell their car.
