4-(Hydroxymethyl)benzaldehyde

Description:

4-(Hydroxymethyl)benzaldehyde, also known as p-hydroxymethylbenzaldehyde, is an aromatic aldehyde characterized by the presence of both an aldehyde functional group and a hydroxymethyl group attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C8H10O2, indicating it contains eight carbon atoms, ten hydrogen atoms, and two oxygen atoms. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its state at room temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various organic synthesis applications, including the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, 4-(Hydroxymethyl)benzaldehyde can participate in condensation reactions and can serve as a building block for more complex organic molecules. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
