Description:4-(Octyloxy)benzaldehyde, with the CAS number 24083-13-4, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure featuring a benzaldehyde group substituted with an octyloxy chain. This compound typically exhibits a clear to pale yellow liquid form at room temperature, with a distinctive aromatic odor. Its molecular structure includes a benzene ring bonded to an aldehyde functional group (-CHO) and an octyloxy group (-O-C8H17), which contributes to its hydrophobic properties. The presence of the long alkyl chain enhances its solubility in organic solvents while making it less soluble in water. 4-(Octyloxy)benzaldehyde is often utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of various chemical intermediates and fragrances. Additionally, it may exhibit interesting properties such as potential antimicrobial activity or use in polymer chemistry. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, adhering to safety protocols to avoid exposure or environmental contamination.
