2-methyl-2-phenylpropanal

Description:
2-Methyl-2-phenylpropanal, also known as benzyl isobutyraldehyde, is an organic compound characterized by its aldehyde functional group. It features a branched structure with a methyl group and a phenyl group attached to the second carbon of a propanal backbone. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the aldehyde group makes it reactive, particularly in condensation reactions and as a potential precursor in organic synthesis. 2-Methyl-2-phenylpropanal is used in the fragrance industry for its pleasant scent and may also serve as an intermediate in the production of various chemical compounds. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes and should be used in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhalation of vapors.
