CAS 41904-40-9

(3-chlorophenyl)acetaldehyde

Description:

(3-Chlorophenyl)acetaldehyde, with the CAS number 41904-40-9, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a chlorinated phenyl group attached to an acetaldehyde functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the chlorine atom on the phenyl ring influences its reactivity, making it a potential electrophile in various chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic substitutions. (3-Chlorophenyl)acetaldehyde can be utilized in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as it may pose risks such as skin and eye irritation, and it should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. As with many aldehydes, it may also be subject to oxidation and polymerization under certain conditions.

3-Chlorophenylacetaldehyde is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CHClO. It is a colorless solid that crystallizes in the form of its dimers, (3-chlorophenyl)acetaldehyde and (3-chloro-2-phenylethynyl) acetaldehyde. It is an intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds, such as phenylethenes and annulated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. 3-Chlorophenylacetaldehyde can be synthesized by transforming naphthalene or phenylethenes with heat or light. In addition, it can be synthesized from photodimerization of 2-(3-chlorophenyl)ethanol and phenylethanone. The transformation of 3-chlorophenylacetaldehyde to 3-(2-phenylethynyl) acetaldehyde can take place through a series of reactions including alkene formation, dimerization, carbon atom rearrangement and annulation
