3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)propanal

Description:
3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)propanal, also known by its CAS number 20401-88-1, is an organic compound characterized by its aldehyde functional group and a methoxy-substituted phenyl group. This compound features a three-carbon propanal chain attached to a phenyl ring that has a methoxy group (-OCH3) at the para position. The presence of the aldehyde group imparts reactivity typical of aldehydes, including susceptibility to oxidation and participation in condensation reactions. The methoxy group enhances the compound's lipophilicity and can influence its electronic properties, potentially affecting its reactivity and interactions in biological systems. 3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)propanal may be utilized in organic synthesis and could serve as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its physical properties, such as boiling point, melting point, and solubility, would depend on the specific molecular interactions and the presence of functional groups. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance due to its potential reactivity and toxicity.
