Benzaldehyde,3-(methylamino)-

Description:

Benzaldehyde, 3-(methylamino)-, also known as 3-(methylamino)benzaldehyde, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an aldehyde functional group and a methylamino group attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring substituted at the 3-position with a methylamino group (-NH(CH3)2) and an aldehyde group (-CHO). This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the polar nature of the aldehyde and amino groups. Benzaldehyde derivatives are often used in organic synthesis and can serve as intermediates in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fragrances. The presence of the methylamino group can influence its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and condensation reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.
