Description:
3-[(4-Methylbenzyl)oxy]benzaldehyde, with the CAS number 40359-58-8, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure. It features a benzaldehyde functional group, which is a key characteristic of aldehydes, and an ether linkage due to the presence of a methoxy group attached to a benzyl moiety. This compound typically exhibits a pale yellow to light brown appearance and has a distinct aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic components. The compound may be utilized in various applications, including organic synthesis, fragrance formulation, and as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Its reactivity is influenced by the aldehyde group, making it susceptible to nucleophilic attack, and it can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and condensation.
