4-Methylbenzenepropanal

Description:
4-Methylbenzenepropanal, also known as p-tolualdehyde or para-tolualdehyde, is an aromatic aldehyde characterized by its structure, which features a benzene ring substituted with a methyl group and an aldehyde functional group. This compound has a molecular formula of C10H12O and is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, almond-like odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water. The presence of the aldehyde group makes it reactive, particularly in condensation reactions and as a precursor in the synthesis of various organic compounds. 4-Methylbenzenepropanal is used in the production of fragrances, flavoring agents, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Its properties include a relatively low boiling point and moderate volatility, which are typical for aromatic aldehydes. Safety considerations include potential irritant effects and the need for proper handling to avoid exposure. Overall, 4-Methylbenzenepropanal is an important compound in both industrial and laboratory settings.
