4-chloro-3-methylbenzaldehyde

Description:

4-Chloro-3-methylbenzaldehyde, with the CAS number 101349-71-7, is an aromatic aldehyde characterized by the presence of a chloro group and a methyl group on a benzene ring, specifically at the 4 and 3 positions, respectively. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. It has a distinct aromatic odor, common to many benzaldehyde derivatives. The presence of the aldehyde functional group (-CHO) makes it reactive, particularly in nucleophilic addition reactions. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. 4-Chloro-3-methylbenzaldehyde is used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this compound.
