α-Methylbenzenebutanal

Description:
α-Methylbenzenebutanal, also known by its CAS number 40654-82-8, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with a methyl group and an aldehyde functional group. This compound typically exhibits a colorless to pale yellow liquid form and has 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 oxidation and condensation reactions. α-Methylbenzenebutanal can be synthesized through various organic reactions, often involving the alkylation of aromatic compounds or the use of aldehyde precursors. Its applications may include use in the fragrance industry, as a flavoring agent, or as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data indicates that, like many aldehydes, it should be handled with care due to potential irritant properties and the need for proper ventilation during use.
