I have a few questions on 2,5-DMBA ( aka 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde )

1) Is it hygroscopic ? MP affected by water content ?

2) Shelf life, best way to store ?

3) If it looks like flat flakes, opaque white, a bit yellow, is it OK ?

4) If water is a concern, best way to dry it ( I hope it is not ).

5) Is 2,5-DMB = 2,5-DMBA = 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde ?

---------------------------------------------------------

Sorry, I mean MP, not BP. Post edited already. Also added one dash. Since it seems to be non-hygroscopic, I assume water is not a concern.

Why do you want to boil it?

Depends. Probably years.

Cool, dry, dark, tightly closed glass bottle.

Probably yes.

And the mp will definitely be affected by water content as well as other impurities.
