Description:Benzaldehyde, 2-chloro-6-hydroxy- is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, featuring a benzene ring substituted with a formyl group (–CHO), a hydroxyl group (–OH), and a chlorine atom (–Cl). Its molecular formula reflects the presence of these functional groups, contributing to its reactivity and properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive almond-like odor, characteristic of benzaldehyde derivatives. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group. The chlorine substituent can influence its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and electrophilic aromatic substitutions. Additionally, the hydroxyl group can participate in hydrogen bonding, affecting its physical properties such as boiling point and melting point. Benzaldehyde derivatives are often utilized in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fragrances, highlighting their importance in both industrial and laboratory settings.
