Description:3-Ethoxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde, with the CAS number 1131-52-8, is an organic compound belonging to the class of aromatic aldehydes. It features a benzene ring substituted with both an ethoxy group and a methoxy group, which contribute to its unique chemical properties. The presence of the aldehyde functional group (-CHO) makes it reactive, particularly in nucleophilic addition reactions. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor, indicative of its aromatic nature. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic substituents. The compound is used in various applications, including as a fragrance component and in organic synthesis. Its reactivity can be influenced by the electron-donating effects of the methoxy and ethoxy groups, which can stabilize the molecule and affect its reactivity in chemical reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as with many organic chemicals, due to potential irritant properties.
