CAS 107737-97-3

α,α,3-Trimethylbenzenepropanal

Description:

α,α,3-Trimethylbenzenepropanal, identified by its CAS number 107737-97-3, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a propanal group attached to a trimethyl-substituted benzene ring. This compound belongs to the class of aldehydes, which are known for their distinctive carbonyl functional group (C=O) at the terminal position of the carbon chain. The presence of multiple methyl groups on the benzene ring contributes to its hydrophobic nature and influences its physical properties, such as boiling point and solubility. Typically, aldehydes exhibit reactivity due to the carbonyl group, making them susceptible to nucleophilic attack and oxidation. α,α,3-Trimethylbenzenepropanal may have applications in organic synthesis, fragrance formulation, or as an intermediate in chemical manufacturing. Its specific characteristics, such as odor, reactivity, and stability, would depend on the molecular interactions and the environment in which it is used. Safety data sheets should be consulted for handling and storage guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
