Description:Benzaldehyde, 2-(methoxymethyl)-, also known by its CAS number 106020-70-6, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzaldehyde functional group and a methoxymethyl substituent. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor, reminiscent of almonds due to the benzaldehyde moiety. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water. The presence of the methoxymethyl group enhances its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The compound may undergo typical reactions associated with aldehydes, such as oxidation, reduction, and condensation. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from light is recommended to maintain its stability and prevent degradation.
