4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde
4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde is one of the three isomers of hydroxybenzaldehyde. It can be found in the orchids Gastrodia elata[1] and Galeola faberi.[2] It is also found in vanilla, also an orchid species.

Chemistry
The Dakin oxidation is an organic redox reaction in which an ortho- or para-hydroxylated phenyl aldehyde (2-hydroxybenzaldehyde or 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) or ketone reacts with hydrogen peroxide in base to form a benzenediol and a carboxylate. Overall, the carbonyl group is oxidized, and the hydrogen peroxide is reduced.
Derivatives
- Claisen-Schmidt reaction with acetone can have afforded raspberry ketone in an 80% overall yield.
- Vanillin
Metabolism
p-Hydroxybenzaldehyde dehydrogenase is an enzyme found in carrots (Daucus carota).[3]
gollark: Not my scheme thing, potatofactor™.
gollark: I may need to use ""epsilon"" technology.
gollark: Hmm, this is running into floating point accuracy issues.
gollark: Wondrous. I'll work on this soon™ after potatofactor™ works.
gollark: Redacting what?
