Benzaldehyde

Description:
Benzaldehyde, with the CAS number 100-52-7, is an aromatic aldehyde characterized by its distinct almond-like odor. It has the molecular formula C7H6O and features a benzene ring attached to a formyl group (-CHO). This colorless liquid is slightly soluble in water but highly soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Benzaldehyde is known for its use as a flavoring agent and fragrance in food and cosmetics, as well as in the synthesis of various organic compounds, including dyes and pharmaceuticals. It exhibits a boiling point around 178 °C and a melting point of approximately -26 °C. Benzaldehyde is also recognized for its reactivity in organic chemistry, participating in reactions such as oxidation to form benzoic acid and condensation reactions. While generally regarded as safe in small quantities, it can be toxic in higher concentrations, necessitating careful handling. Its production primarily involves the oxidation of toluene or the hydrolysis of benzyl chloride.
