Benzaldehyde, 2-bromo-3-methyl-

Description:

Benzaldehyde, 2-bromo-3-methyl- is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with both a bromine atom and a methyl group, along with a formyl group (–CHO) characteristic of aldehydes. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct almond-like odor, which is common among benzaldehyde derivatives. It is known for its reactivity due to the presence of the aldehyde functional group, making it susceptible to nucleophilic attacks. The bromine substituent can influence the compound's reactivity and polarity, potentially enhancing its electrophilic character. Benzaldehyde derivatives are often utilized in organic synthesis, serving as intermediates in the production of various pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and agrochemicals. Additionally, the presence of the bromine atom can facilitate further chemical transformations, such as substitution reactions. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.
