Cyclododecanecarboxaldehyde, with the CAS number 5037-22-9, is an organic compound characterized by its cyclic structure and aldehyde functional group. It is derived from cyclododecane, a twelve-membered carbon ring, with a carboxaldehyde group (-CHO) attached to one of the carbon atoms. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Cyclododecanecarboxaldehyde is known for its applications in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of fragrances and flavoring agents, as well as in the synthesis of various chemical intermediates. Its reactivity is influenced by the aldehyde group, allowing it to participate in typical reactions such as oxidation and condensation. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.

Cyclododecanecarbaldehyde is a reactive chemical that can be used for the epoxidation of octanes. It is an anti-inflammatory and it has been shown to have antifertility properties. Cyclododecanecarbaldehyde reacts with peracid to produce a high yield of epoxy tetronic solvents. This chemical also reacts with organoaluminium compounds to produce lactams, which are useful as introducing agents in the synthesis of cyclic compounds.
