Ethanedial

Description:
Ethanedial, commonly known as glyoxal, is a simple dialdehyde with the chemical formula C2H2O2. It is characterized by its two aldehyde functional groups, which contribute to its reactivity and versatility in organic synthesis. Glyoxal is typically a colorless to yellowish liquid with a pungent odor and is soluble in water, alcohols, and many organic solvents. It has a relatively low boiling point and can polymerize under certain conditions. Ethanedial is used in various applications, including as a precursor in the synthesis of other chemicals, in textile and paper industries as a cross-linking agent, and in the production of resins and adhesives. Additionally, it has antimicrobial properties, making it useful in some biocidal applications. However, it is important to handle glyoxal with care, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Its reactivity and potential hazards necessitate appropriate safety measures during use and storage.
