CAS 123-63-7: Paraldehyde

Description: Paraldehyde, with the CAS number 123-63-7, is a cyclic trimer of acetaldehyde and is classified as an organic compound. It appears as a colorless, volatile liquid with a distinctive odor reminiscent of acetaldehyde. Paraldehyde is soluble in water and is also miscible with alcohols and ethers, making it versatile in various chemical applications. It has a relatively low boiling point and is known for its flammability. In terms of chemical properties, paraldehyde can undergo oxidation and reduction reactions, and it can act as a mild sedative and hypnotic in medical applications. Its structure consists of a six-membered ring formed by the condensation of three acetaldehyde molecules, which contributes to its unique reactivity and stability under certain conditions. Paraldehyde is used in organic synthesis, as a solvent, and historically in the treatment of certain medical conditions, although its use has declined with the advent of newer medications. Safety precautions are necessary when handling paraldehyde due to its flammable nature and potential health effects upon exposure.
