methyl 3-formylbenzoate

Description:

Methyl 3-formylbenzoate, with the CAS number 52178-50-4, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of benzoates and aldehydes. It features a methyl ester functional group and an aldehyde group attached to a benzene ring, specifically at the meta position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. Methyl 3-formylbenzoate can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions and condensation reactions, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of both the ester and aldehyde functional groups, which can undergo transformations under appropriate conditions. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with many organic compounds, it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
