2-Methyl-3-phenylpropanal

Description:

2-Methyl-3-phenylpropanal, with the CAS number 5445-77-2, is an organic compound classified as an aldehyde. It features a branched structure, characterized by a methyl group and a phenyl group attached to a three-carbon chain that terminates in a carbonyl group (–CHO). This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, often described as sweet or floral. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic phenyl group. The presence of the aldehyde functional group makes it reactive, particularly in oxidation and condensation reactions. 2-Methyl-3-phenylpropanal is utilized in various applications, including as a flavoring agent and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Its chemical properties, such as boiling point and reactivity, are influenced by the steric effects of the methyl and phenyl substituents, which can affect its behavior in chemical reactions and interactions with other substances.
