Benzamide, 4-formyl-N-phenyl-

Description:

Benzamide, 4-formyl-N-phenyl- is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzamide functional group with a formyl substituent at the para position relative to the amide nitrogen. Its molecular structure features a phenyl group attached to the nitrogen atom of the amide, along with a formyl group (-CHO) that contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents. It may exhibit properties such as moderate melting and boiling points, and it can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions and condensation reactions. The presence of both the amide and aldehyde functionalities allows for diverse reactivity, making it useful in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
