3-Methyldodecanal is an aliphatic aldehyde characterized by a straight-chain structure with a total of 13 carbon atoms, including a methyl group at the third position from the aldehyde functional group. Its molecular formula is C13H26O, indicating the presence of 26 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fatty, waxy odor, which is common among long-chain aldehydes. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. 3-Methyldodecanal is used in various applications, including flavoring and fragrance formulations, owing to its pleasant scent. Additionally, it may serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis. As with many aldehydes, it can undergo oxidation to form corresponding carboxylic acids and may participate in reactions typical of aldehydes, such as nucleophilic addition. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
