3-Chloro-5-methylbenzaldehyde

Description:
3-Chloro-5-methylbenzaldehyde, with the CAS number 103426-20-6, is an aromatic aldehyde characterized by the presence of a chlorinated benzene ring and an aldehyde functional group. This compound features a chlorine atom located at the meta position (3-position) and a methyl group at the para position (5-position) relative to the aldehyde group. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct aromatic odor. The presence of the chlorine atom influences its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The compound is moderately soluble in organic solvents and exhibits low solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. As with many aldehydes, it may undergo reactions such as oxidation, reduction, and nucleophilic addition. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks through inhalation or skin contact.
