3-(Acetyloxy)benzaldehyde

Description:

3-(Acetyloxy)benzaldehyde, also known as 3-acetoxybenzaldehyde, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an aldehyde and an ester functional group. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring substituted with an acetoxy group (-OCOCH₃) at the meta position relative to the aldehyde group (-CHO). This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The compound is known for its pleasant aromatic odor, making it of interest in the fragrance and flavor industries. Additionally, 3-(Acetyloxy)benzaldehyde can serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of both the aldehyde and acetoxy groups, allowing for diverse chemical transformations. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.

3-Acetoxybenzaldehyde

CAS: 34231-78-2

3-Acetoxybenzaldehyde is a chemical compound that has been used as a photosensitiser for the production of hydrogen peroxide. When irradiated with light, it undergoes a series of reactions, including the removal of an electron from the molecule and the formation of a reactive oxygen species (ROS). This ROS then reacts with chloride ions to form chlorine radicals. These chlorine radicals can react with acetyl groups to form 3-acetoxybenzoic acid. 3-Acetoxybenzaldehyde is also used in organic synthesis to produce ketones and aldehydes. The functional groups on this compound are an acetyl group and a carbonyl group. 3-Acetoxybenzaldehyde is produced by the dehydrogenation of trimethyl acetate, which is catalyzed by palladium on charcoal or platinum oxide.
