2,6-Dimethylbenzaldehyde

Description:

2,6-Dimethylbenzaldehyde, with the CAS number 1123-56-4, is an aromatic aldehyde characterized by its distinct chemical structure, which features a benzene ring substituted with two methyl groups at the 2 and 6 positions, and an aldehyde functional group (-CHO) at the 1 position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, sweet, and floral odor, making it useful in the fragrance industry. It has a relatively low boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents, but only slightly soluble in water. The presence of the aldehyde group makes it reactive, particularly in condensation reactions and as a potential electrophile in various organic synthesis processes. Additionally, 2,6-Dimethylbenzaldehyde can undergo oxidation to form corresponding carboxylic acids and can participate in various chemical transformations, including nucleophilic addition and aromatic substitution. Its applications extend beyond fragrances to include use in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.

2,6-Dimethylbenzaldehyde is a colorless liquid with a sweet odor. It is used in the synthesis of fatty acids and as an intermediate for other compounds. This chemical has significant cytotoxicity against leukemia cells, and is used in the production of acrylonitrile. 2,6-Dimethylbenzaldehyde can be synthesized by reacting an amine with an acyl chloride, followed by hydrolysis of the resulting ester. A contactor is usually added to facilitate the reaction. The reaction can also be carried out in the presence of a phosphorane or organic solvent.
2,6-Dimethylbenzaldehyde can be hydrogenated to produce 2,4-dimethylaniline and 2,4,6-trimethylaniline.
